For the fortified city is isolated,A homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert;There the calf will graze,And there it will lie down and feed on its branches.

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
