10 Many foreign leaders will come.
    They will destroy the land where my people live.
It was a beautiful garden where I planted my people.
    But enemies will make it become like a desert.
11 They will make it a dry and empty place,
    where nobody lives and nothing grows.
The whole land will be like a desert.
    There will be nobody to take care of it.

    I will punish everyone.
    Nobody will be safe.

    from one end of the land to the other;(H)
    no one will be safe.(I)
