13 And I will stretch out on Jerusalem the measuring line+ applied to Sa·marʹi·a+ and use the leveling tool* applied to the house of Aʹhab,+ and I will wipe Jerusalem clean, just as one wipes a bowl clean, wiping it and turning it upside down.+

 8 Jehovah has resolved to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion.+

He has stretched out the measuring line.+

He has not held back his hand from bringing destruction.*

And he causes rampart and wall to mourn.

Together they have been made weak.
