Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become ruins,
and the temple’s mountain will be a high thicket.’(D)

19 Did King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did not the king fear the Lord and plead for the Lord’s favor,[a](E) and did not the Lord relent concerning the disaster he had pronounced against them?(F) We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!”
