8  Then ^uI will encamp at my house as a guard,

^vso that none shall march to and fro;

^wno oppressor shall again march over them,

^xfor now I see with my own eyes.

6  ^o“I have cut off nations;

their battlements are in ruins;

I have laid waste their streets

^pso that no one walks in them;

their cities have been made desolate,

without a man, without an inhabitant.
