I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
Y loste folkis, and þe corneris of hem ben distried; Y made þe weies of hem desert, while þere is not þat schal passe. Þe citees of hem ben desolat, for a man is not left, neþer ony dwellere.
