17And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

18Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quaking and anxiety.

19And say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with horror, so that her land may be made desolate of its fullness because of the violence of all who dwell in it.’

20And the inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become a desolation; then you will know that I am Yahweh.
