The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together. He hath stretched out a line - The line of devastation; marking what was to be pulled down and demolished.
