    the valleys will burst open,
Like wax next to a raging fire,
    as water pours from the heights.

        the wrongdoings of the people of Israel.

        And what is the high place of Judah? Isn’t it Jerusalem?

        To make her properly into a place to plant a vineyard,
    I will roll her stones into the valley
        and bare her foundations for all to see.
