I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૨૧:૧૩
હું સમરુનની માપદોરી તથા આહાબના કુટુંબનો ઓળંબો યરુશાલેમ પર ખેંચીશ, જેમ માણસ થાળીને સાફ કરે છે તેમ હું યરુશાલેમને સાફ કરીને ઊંધું વાળી નાખીશ.
हिन्दी2 राजाओं २१:१३
और जो मापने की डोरी मैंने सामरिया पर डाली है और जो साहुल मैंने अहाब के घराने पर लटकाया है वही यरूशलेम पर डालूँगा। और मैं यरूशलेम को ऐसा पोछूँगा जैसे कोई थाली को पोंछता है और उसे पोंछकर उलट देता है।

In context

11“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;

12therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

13I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

14I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,

15because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
