8 The highways have been made desolate;+ the one passing over the path has ceased.+ He has broken the covenant;+ he has contemned the cities;+ he has taken no account of mortal man.*+
15 “‘Or if I should make injurious wild beasts pass through the land+ and they actually bereaved it of children+ and it actually became a desolate waste without anybody passing through on account of the wild beasts,+
14 ‘And I proceeded tempestuously to hurl them throughout all the nations+ that they had not known;+ and the land itself has been left desolate behind them, with no one passing through and with no one returning;+ and they proceeded to make the desirable land+ an object of astonishment.’”
