There is no one, no inhabitant.

8 “Therefore await for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up1 for plunder;
My determination is to bgather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth cshall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.
“Until the day I rise up1 for plunder;
