Jeremiah 4:23-28

23I see the earth. It’s formless and empty. I see the sky. Its lights are gone.

24I see the mountains. They are shaking, and the hills are swaying.

25I see that there are no people, and every bird has flown away.

26I see that the fertile land has become a desert, and all its cities are torn down because of the Lord and his burning anger.

27This is what the Lord says: The whole earth will be ruined, although I will not destroy it completely.

28The earth will mourn, and the sky will grow black. I have spoken, and I have planned it. I won’t change my plans, and I won’t turn back.
