Your land is desolate;
your cities are burned with fire;
your fields,
    strangers devour it in your presence—
    a desolation,
    overthrown by strangers.
So the Daughter of Zion is left
    as a sukkah in a vineyard,
as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers,
    as a besieged city.
Unless Adonai-Tzva’ot
    had left us a small remnant,[a]
we would have been as Sodom,
    we would have been as Gomorrah.
