# I have abandoned my house; I have abandoned my inheritance. I have given my beloved into the hands of her enemies.
These three sentences have similar meanings. The words "my house," "my inheritance" and "my beloved" all refer to God's people, the nation of Israel. The third sentence tells how God abandoned the nation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
