10 For the fortified city will be desolate,

pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.

Calves will graze there,

and there they will spread out and strip its branches.

11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.

Women will come and make fires with them,

for they are not a people with understanding.h

Therefore their Makeri will not have compassion on them,

and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
