³¹‘And I will give your cities over as a ^awaste and will make your ^bsanctuaries desolate, and I will not ^csmell your soothing aromas.

³²‘And I will make ^athe land desolate, ^bso that your enemies who inhabit it will themselves feel desolate because of it.

³³‘You, however, I ^awill scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.
