defenced For thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] a

{defenced} city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it

shall never be built.

defenced Yet the {defenced} city [shall be] desolate,

[and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there

shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the

branches thereof.

defenced Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of

king Hezekiah, [that] Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against

all the {defenced} cities of Judah, and took them.

defenced Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have
done

it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I

brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste
{defenced}

cities [into] ruinous heaps.

defenced For, behold, I have made thee this day a

{defenced} city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the

whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes
thereof,

against the priests thereof, and against the people of the

land.

defenced Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem;

and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together,
and

say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the {defenced}
cities.

defenced Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and

let us enter into the {defenced} cities, and let us be silent
there:

for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water
of

gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LOR

D.

defenced When the king of Babylon's army fought
against

Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left,

against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these {defenced} cities

remained of the cities of Judah.

defenced Appoint a way, that the sword may come to

Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the
{defenced}.
