14 For the dwelling tower itself has been forsaken,+ the very hubbub of the city has been abandoned; Oʹphel+ and the watchtower themselves have become bare fields, for time indefinite the exultation of zebras, the pasture of droves;
15 Against him maned young lions roar;+ they have given out their voice.+ And they went making his land an object of astonishment. His own cities have been set afire, so that there is no inhabitant.+
12 Therefore on account of YOU men Zion will be plowed up as a mere field, and Jerusalem herself will become mere heaps of ruins,+ and the mountain of the house will be as the high places of a forest.
