Who is the wise man who may understand this [without any doubt]? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, so that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
I asked, “Is there anyone around bright enough to tell us what’s going on here? Anyone who has the inside story from God and can let us in on it?“Why is the country wasted?“Why no travelers in this desert?” 13-15 God’s answer: “Because they abandoned my plain teaching. They wouldn’t listen to anything I said, refused to live the way I told them to. Instead they lived any way they wanted and took up with the Baal gods, who they thought would give them what they wanted—following the example of their parents.” And this is the consequence. God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so:“I’ll feed them with pig slop.“I’ll give them poison to drink.
Who is the wise man that may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a desert, so that no one passes through?

مَنْ هُوَ الإِنْسَانُ الْحَكِيمُ حَتَّى يَفْهَمَ هَذَا؟ وَمَنْ خَاطَبَهُ فَمُ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى يُعْلِنَهَا؟ لِمَاذَا خَرِبَتِ الأَرْضُ، وَأَوْحَشَتْ كَالْبَرِّيَّةِ فَلا يَقْطَعُهَا عَابِرٌ؟
