Yeremia 9:11

9:11 The Lord said,¹

“I will make Jerusalem² a heap of ruins.

Jackals will make their home there.³

I will destroy the towns of Judah

so that no one will be able to live in them.”

Yeremia 33:10

33:10 “I, the Lord, say:⁴ ‘You and your people are saying⁵ about this place, “It lies in ruins. There are no people or animals in it.” That is true. The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem⁶ will soon be desolate, uninhabited either by people or by animals. But happy sounds will again be heard in these places.

Yeremia 44:2-6

44:2 “The Lord God of Israel who rules over all⁷ says, ‘You have seen all the disaster I brought on Jerusalem⁸ and all the towns of Judah. Indeed, they now lie in ruins and are deserted.⁹ 44:3 This happened because of the wickedness the people living there did.¹⁰ They made me angry¹¹ by worshiping and offering sacrifice to¹² other gods whom neither they nor you nor your ancestors¹³ previously knew.¹⁴ 44:4 I sent my servants the prophets to you people over and over¹⁵ again warning you not to do this disgusting thing I hate.¹⁶ 44:5 But the people of Jerusalem and Judah¹⁷ would not listen or pay any attention. They would not stop the wickedness they were doing nor quit sacrificing to other gods.¹⁸ 44:6 So my anger and my wrath were poured out and burned like a fire through the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. That is why they have become the desolate ruins that they are today.’

Yeremia 44:22

44:22 Finally the Lord could no longer endure your wicked deeds and the disgusting things you did. That is why your land has become the desolate, uninhabited ruin that it is today. That is why it has become a proverbial example used in curses.¹⁹

The princess³¹ who once ruled the provinces³²

has become³³ a forced laborer!³⁴

Yehezkiel 33:27-28

33:27 “This is what you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die³⁵ by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease. 33:28 I will turn the land into a desolate ruin; her confident pride will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will be so desolate no one will pass through them.
