7 A lion has come out of his lair;

a destroyer of nations has set out.

He has left his place

to lay waste your land.

Your towns will lie in ruins

without inhabitant.

8 So put on sackcloth,

lament and wail,

for the fierce anger of the Lord

has not turned away from us.

7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. 8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.

a destroyer of nations.

It has left its lair and is headed your way.

It’s going to devastate your land!

Your towns will lie in ruins,

with no one living in them anymore.

8 So put on clothes of mourning

and weep with broken hearts,

for the fierce anger of the Lord

is still upon us.

7 The lion has come up from his thicket,

And the destroyer of nations is on his way.

He has gone forth from his place

To make your land desolate.

Your cities will be laid waste,

Without inhabitant.

8 For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth,

Lament and wail.

For the fierce anger of the Lord—

Has not turned back from us.

7 A lion has come out of his den;

a destroyer of nations has begun to march.

He has left his home

to destroy your land.

Your towns will be destroyed

with no one left to live in them.

8 So put on rough cloth,

show how sad you are, and cry loudly.

The terrible anger of the Lord

has not turned away from us.

7 A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant. 8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.

Sob and cry over what has happened.

To make your land a waste.

Without inhabitant.

Lament and wail;

Has not turned back from us.”
