17 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
|
17 The word of the LORD came to me:
|
|
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with anxiety;
|
18 "Son of man, tremble as you eat your food, and shudder in fear as you drink your water.
|
|
19 and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with astonishment, because her land shall be left desolate of all that is in it, for the violence of all them that dwell therein.
|
19 Say to the people of the land: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will eat their food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who live there.
|
|
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
|
20 The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "
