Translations
Say to them: This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Will it thrive? No—he will tear out its roots, strip off its fruit, and leave it to wither. Every new leaf will shrivel. And it won't take a powerful army or great force to rip it from the ground.
Say: Thus says my Lord YHWH: Will it flourish? Will he not tear up its roots and strip away its fruit until it withers—until every fresh leaf shrivels? It will not take a mighty arm or a great army to uproot it.
Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
So you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Will it flourish? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it shrivels? All its foliage will wither! It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by its roots.
