Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will buncover her foundations.
And all her apay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the bpay of a harlot.”
Mourning for Israel and Judah
I will go stripped and naked;
aI will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
For ait has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
The inhabitant of1 Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
But adisaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were bfound in you.
