Your country is desolate,(A)
    your cities burned with fire;(B)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners(C)
    right before you,
    laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.(D)
Daughter Zion(E) is left(F)
    like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut(G) in a cucumber field,
    like a city under siege.
Unless the Lord Almighty
    had left us some survivors,(H)
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.(I)

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

(A)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
So the daughter of Zion is left (B)as a [a]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(C)As a besieged city.
(D)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (E)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
