| 2 | He built towns in the Judean hills and forts and towers in the wooded areas. | |
| 3 | The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. | |
| 4 | I will turn your cities into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings. | |
| 5 | I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins. |
