Until the cities are a wasteland without a single inhabitant,
until the houses are totally deserted,
and the farmland is completely devastated,

and the abandoned places within the land are many.

Like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump remains when it is cut down,
so the holy seed is its stump.[a]
