^11 (A)This whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and ^(B)these nations shall serve the king of Babylon ^(C)seventy years.

^18 (A)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, ^(B)to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day;

^13 (A)For I have sworn by myself, declares the Lord, that ^(B)Bozrah shall become ^(C)a horror, a taunt, a waste, and a curse, and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.”

^17 (A)“Edom shall become a horror. ^(B)Everyone who passes by it will be horrified ^(C)and will hiss because of all its disasters.
