7uYour country is desolate,

Your cities are burned with fire:

Your land, strangers devour it in your presence,

And it is desolate, †as overthrown by strangers.

8And the daughter of Zion is left vas a cottage in a vineyard,

As vva lodge win a garden of cucumbers,

As a besieged city.

9xExcept the Lord of hosts had left unto us ya very small remnant,

We should have been as zSodom,

And we should have been like unto zGomorrah.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Your country lies desolate;

your cities are burned with fire;

in your very presence

foreigners devour your land;

it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.

And the daughter of Zion is left

like a booth in a vineyard,

like a lodge in a cucumber field,

like a besieged city.

If the Lord of hosts

had not left us a few survivors,

we should have been like Sodom,

and become like Gomorrah.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Your country is desolate,

your cities burned with fire;

your fields are being stripped by foreigners

right before you,

laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.

Daughter Zion is left

like a shelter in a vineyard,

like a hut in a cucumber field,

like a city under siege.

Unless the Lord Almighty

had left us some survivors,

we would have become like Sodom,

we would have been like Gomorrah.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Your land is desolate,

your cities burned down;

foreigners devour your fields

right in front of you—

a desolation, like a place demolished by foreigners.

Daughter Zion is abandoned

like a shelter in a vineyard,

like a shack in a cucumber field,

like a besieged city.

If the Lord of Armies

had not left us a few survivors,

we would be like Sodom,

we would resemble Gomorrah.

NLTNew Living Translation

Your country lies in ruins,

and your towns are burned.

Foreigners plunder your fields before your eyes

and destroy everything they see.

Beautiful Jerusalem stands abandoned

like a watchman’s shelter in a vineyard,

like a lean-to in a cucumber field after the harvest,

like a helpless city under siege.

If the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

had not spared a few of us,

we would have been wiped out like Sodom,

destroyed like Gomorrah.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Your country is desolate,

your cities are burned with fire;

As for your land, aliens are devouring it in your presence,

and it is desolate, like devastation by foreigners.

And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard,

like a shelter in a cucumber field,

like a city that is besieged.

If Yahweh of hosts had not left us survivors,

we would have been as few as Sodom,

we would have become like Gomorrah.
