and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

And I will make it waste; its branches will not be touched with the knife, or the earth worked with the spade; but blackberries and thorns will come up in it: and I will give orders to the clouds not to send rain on it.

και θελω καταστησει αυτον ερημον δεν θελει κλαδευθη ουδε σκαφθη, αλλα θελουσι βλαστησει εκει τριβολοι και ακανθαι θελω προσταξει ετι τα νεφη να μη βρεξωσι βροχην επ' αυτον.

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
