Jeremiah 4:23-28

23I beheld the earth, and lo, it was waste and empty; and the heavens, and they had no light.

24I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills shook violently.

25I beheld, and lo, man was not, and all the fowl of the heavens were fled.

26I beheld, and lo, the fruitful land was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down, before Jehovah, before his fierce anger.

27For thus saith Jehovah: The whole land shall be a desolation; but I will not make a full end.

28For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back therefrom.
