Rh :Both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it;
 * Their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds:
 * For he shall uncover the cedar work.
 * This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly,
 * That said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me:
 * How is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in!
 * Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.


 * to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
 * She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction;
 * She trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
 * Her princes within her are roaring lions;
 * Her judges are evening wolves;
 * They gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
 * Her prophets are light and treacherous persons:
 * Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
 * The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity:
 * Every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not;
