Til the cities lie ruined
Language: English
Til the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are deserted, and the hills ravaged, until I have sent every one far away, and the land is forsaken. And tho a tenth of it remain, it too shall be laid to waste, But as a terebinth tree or as an oak, whose stump remain when it is cut down, the Holy seed will be the stump in the land.
