is] in bitterness.

purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath
stretched out a line,
he hath not withdrawn his hand from
destroying: therefore
he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

with a flood, and unto the end of the war

that determined shall be poured
upon the desolate.

and the holy city shall they
tread under foot
forty [
and] two months.
