Isaiah 27:10-11

10 ^aFor the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
^bFor this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.

Isaiah 32:14

14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
^ca joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
