Jerusalem a desolation.

has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.

he has gone out from his place
to make your land a waste;
your cities will be ruins
lwithout inhabitant.
Jeremiah 4:23-29
23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was mwithout form and void;nand to the heavens, and they had no light.
24I looked on othe mountains, and behold, they were quaking,
and all the hills moved to and fro.
25 pI looked, and behold, there was no man,
and all the birds of the air had fled.
26I looked, and behold, the qfruitful land was a desert,
and all its cities were laid in ruins
before the Lord, before rhis fierce anger.
27For thus says the Lord, “The whole land shall be a desolation; syet I will not make a full end.
28 t“For this the earth shall mourn,
uand the heavens above be dark;
for I have spoken; I have purposed;
vI have not relented, nor will I turn back.”
29 At the noise of horseman and archer
every city takes to flight;
they enter thickets; they climb among rocks;
all the cities are forsaken,
and wno man dwells in them.

6Therefore thus says the Lord God: xLike the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, ywhich I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.Ezekiel 15:8
8 zAnd I will make the land desolate, because aathey have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord God.”
