10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. 11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will [a]beat off his fruit from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be [b]gathered [c]one by one, O ye children of Israel.

10 The fortified city stands desolate,(A)
    an abandoned settlement, forsaken(B) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(C)
    there they lie down;(D)
    they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(E)
    and women come and make fires(F) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(G)
    so their Maker has no compassion on them,
    and their Creator(H) shows them no favor.(I)

12 In that day the Lord will thresh(J) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(K) and you, Israel, will be gathered(L) up one by one.
