They are gone — Some are already withdrawn from the desolation that cometh. Egypt — In Egypt they hope to be quiet and survive these desolations, but they shall die in Egypt. The pleasant places — Their beautiful houses built for keeping their wealth in. Nettles — Shall be ruined, and lie in rubbish, 'till nettles grow in them.
