Isaiah 32:14

¹²The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

¹⁰For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.

¹⁰The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

²For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.

¹¹Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,

¹Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants. ²It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest. ³The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the LORD has spoken this word.

⁹He burned the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire.

⁹In my ears, the LORD of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

²⁰“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
