23 I _looked _at DOM the_earth/land and_see/lo/see [it _was]_formlessness and_emptiness and_near/to the_heavens and_no light_their.
24 I _looked _at the_mountains and_see/lo/see [they _were]_quaking and_all the_hills they _shook _to _and _fro.
25 I _looked and_see/lo/see [was]_not the_humankind and_all (the)_bird the_heavens they _had _fled.
26 I _looked and_see/lo/see the_fruitful _land the_wilderness and_all cities_its they _had _been _pulled _down from_face/in _front _of YHWH from_face/in _front _of the _burning anger_his.
27 if/because thus he _says YHWH a _desolation it _will _be all the_earth/land and_full _end not I _will _make.
28 On this it _will _mourn the_earth/land and_grow _dark the_heavens at_above on if/because I _have _spoken I _have _resolved and_not I _have _repented and_not I _will _turn _back from_it.
29 At_sound of _a _horseman and_one _shooting _of of _a _bow [is]_fleeing every the_city people _will _go in/on/at/with_thickets and_in/on/at/with_rocks people _will _go _up every the_city [is]_abandoned and_no dwelling in/on/at/with_them anyone.
30 And_you[fn] Oh _devastated _[one] what are _you _doing (cmp) you _are _dressing scarlet (cmp) you _adorn _yourself ornament[s] of _gold (cmp) you _tear _open in/on/at/with_paint eyes_your in _the_vain you _beautify _yourself they _have _rejected in/on/at/with_you lovers life_your they _seek.
31 If/because a _sound as_woman _in _labour I _have _heard distress as_bearing _firstchild the _sound of _the _daughter of _Tsiyyōn/(Zion) she _is _gasping _for _breath she _is _spreading _out hands_her woe please to_me if/because it _is _weary life_my before_murderers.
