17 “You will know that I am the Lord your God.
I live on my holy mountain, Zion.
Jerusalem will be holy.

Milk will flow on the hills.
Water will flow in all the brooks of Judah.
A spring will flow from the Lord’s temple.

19 Egypt will become a wasteland.
Edom will become a barren desert.

They murdered innocent people in their land.
