“14. So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 14. Et extendam manum meam super eos, et ponam terram vastitatem, et derelictionem prae deserto Diblathah in omnibus habitationibus eorum: et cognoscent quod ego Iehovah. …”
