Isaiah 64:10

Your chosen ¹  cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem ²  is a desolate ruin.

Your sacred cities have become a desert; even Zion is a desert, Jerusalem a desolation.

Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Your holy cities are destroyed; even Jerusalem is a desolate wilderness.

Your holy cities are all ghost towns: Zion's a ghost town, Jerusalem's a field of weeds.

Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.

Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Your chosen ¹  cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem ²  is a desolate ruin.
