⁸ Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege.

⁸ The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut in a field of melons,
like a besieged city.

⁸ Daughter Zion is deserted - like a tumbledown shack on a dead-end street, Like a tarpaper shanty on the wrong side of the tracks, like a sinking ship abandoned by the rats.
