"This is what the LORD of armies, the God of Israel says: 'You yourselves have seen all the disaster that I have brought on Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are in ^(C1)ruins and no one lives in them,

'Therefore My ^(C1)wrath and My anger gushed out and burned in the ^(C2)cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so they have become ruins and a ^(C3)desolation as it is this day.

"So the LORD was ^(C1)no longer able to endure it, ^(C2)because of the evil of your deeds, because of the abominations which you have committed; so your land has become a ^(C3)place of ruins, an object of horror, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as it is this day.
