|
51:62
and say, O Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. |

Then shalt thou say,ºº
O LORD,º
thouº
hast spokenºº
againstº
thisº
place,º
to cut it off,ºº
that noneº
shallº
remainºº
in it, neither manºº

the midstº
