 # Shudder, heavens ... Be shocked and very desolate

Alternate translation: "People of Judah, if the heavens could see you, they would shudder ... They would be shocked and very desolate" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-symaction]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-apostrophe]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
+"People of Judah, if the heavens could see you, they would shudder ... They would be shocked and very desolate"

+"totally horrified" or "appalled"
 
 # this is Yahweh's declaration
