17 ^cDo not listen to them; ^wserve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city ^ebecome a desolation?

2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the disaster that I brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. Behold, this day ^lthey are a desolation, and no one dwells in them,

6 ^rTherefore my wrath and my anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, ^sand they became a waste and a desolation, as at this day.

31 And I will ^qlay your cities waste and will ^rmake your sanctuaries desolate, and ^sI will not smell your pleasing aromas.

33 And ^vI will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
