I have placed it in the wilderness; its home is the wasteland.

我使旷野作它的住处，使咸地当它的居所。

我使旷野作它的住处，使盐地当它的居所。

我使旷野作它的住处，使盐地当它的居所。

我使它以旷野为家，以盐地作居所。

我使原野作它的家，使咸地作它的居所。

我使曠野作牠的住處，使鹹地當牠的居所。

我使曠野作牠的住處，使鹽地當牠的居所。

我使曠野作牠的住處，使鹽地當牠的居所。

我使牠以曠野為家，以鹽地作居所。

我使原野作牠的家，使鹹地作牠的居所。

我使原野做牠的住宅，使鹹地當牠的居所。

我使曠野為其室家、鹵地為其居所、

居曠野、處鹵地、

我使曠野為其所處、使鹵地為其居所、

I gave it the wasteland as its home, the salt flats as its habitat.

I gave them the dry and empty land as their home. I gave them salt flats to live in.

to whom I have given the arid plain for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place?

I made the desert its home, and the salty wasteland its dwelling.

To whom I gave the wilderness as his home, And the salt land as his dwelling place?

Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling?

Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling- place?

I made the wilderness its home, and the salty wasteland its dwelling.

Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

to whom I appointed the steppe for its home, the salt wastes as its dwelling place?

whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?

He turns the fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there.

You are like a wild donkey, sniffing the wind at mating time. Who can restrain her lust? Those who desire her don’t need to search, for she goes running to them!

They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.

They will exclaim,‘ The whole land is devastated by sulfur and salt. It is a wasteland with nothing planted and nothing growing, not even a blade of grass. It is like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his intense anger.’

Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, the poor must spend all their time looking for food, searching even in the desert for food for their children.

Like a wild donkey looking for a mate, they have gone up to Assyria. The people of Israel have sold themselves— sold themselves to many lovers.

But the marshes and swamps will not be purified; they will still be salty.
