10 For the strong city shall be desolate, the beautiful city shall be forsaken, and shall be left as a wilderness: there the calf shall feed, and there shall he lie down, and shall consume its branches.

11 Its harvest shall be destroyed with drought, women shall come and teach it: for it is not a wise people, therefore he that made it, shall not have mercy on it: and he that formed it, shall not spare it.

12 And it shall come to pass, that in that day the Lord will strike from the channel of the river even to the torrent of Egypt, and you shall be gathered together one by one, O ye children of Israel.

10 The fortified city stands desolate,(A)
    an abandoned settlement, forsaken(B) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(C)
    there they lie down;(D)
    they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(E)
    and women come and make fires(F) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(G)
    so their Maker has no compassion on them,
    and their Creator(H) shows them no favor.(I)

12 In that day the Lord will thresh(J) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(K) and you, Israel, will be gathered(L) up one by one.
