Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
Who is the smart person who can understand this? And who is the person that God has spoken to, so they can explain it? Because the land is empty and burnt, like a desert, where no one can travel through.
