8. Beautiful Jerusalem stands abandonedlike a watchman’s shelter in a vineyard,like a lean-to in a cucumber field after the harvest,like a helpless city under siege.
9. If the lord of Heaven’s Armieshad not spared a few of us,we would have been wiped out like Sodom,destroyed like Gomorrah.
10. Listen to the lord, you leaders of “Sodom.”Listen to the law of our God, people of “Gomorrah.”
