Never again will it be found.The songs of musicians will never be heard in you again. Gone will be the music of harps, flutes and trumpets. No worker of any kind will ever be found in you again.

Then we can walk all over you.’ And that is exactly what you did. You made your back like a street to be walked on.”

I gasp and pant.I will completely destroy the mountains and hills. I will dry up everything that grows there. I will turn rivers into dry land. I will dry up the pools.
