Jeremiah 4:20-29

201DisasterH7667 on disasterH7667 is proclaimedH7121, For the 2wholeH3605 landH776 is devastatedH7703; SuddenlyH6597 my 3tentsH168 are devastatedH7703, My curtainsH3407 in an instantH7281.21HowH4970 longH5704H4970 must I seeH7200 the standardH5251 And hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782?22“4For My peopleH5971 are foolishH191, They knowH3045 Me not; They are stupidH5530 childrenH1121 And haveH995 noH3808 understandingH995. They are shrewdH2450 to 5doH7489 evilH7489, But to doH3190 goodH3190 they do not knowH3045.”

23I lookedH7200 on the earthH776, and beholdH2009, it was 67formlessH8414 and voidH922; And to the heavensH8064, and they hadH369 noH369 lightH216.24I lookedH7200 on the mountainsH2022, and beholdH2009, they were 8quakingH7493, And allH3605 the hillsH1389 9movedH7043 to and froH7043.25I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, thereH369 was noH369 manH120, And allH3605 the 10birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 had fledH5074.26I lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, 11the 12fruitfulH3759 landH3759 was a wildernessH4057, And allH3605 its citiesH5892 were pulledH5422 downH5422 BeforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068, beforeH4480H6440 His fierceH2740 angerH639.

27For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “The 13wholeH3605 landH776 shall be a desolationH8077, Yet I will 14not executeH6213 a completeH3617 destructionH3617.28For thisH2088 the 15earthH776 shall mournH56 And the 16heavensH8064 aboveH4480H4605 be darkH6937, BecauseH5921H3588 I have 17spokenH1696, I have purposedH2161, And I will not 18changeH5162 My mindH5162, norH3808 will I turnH7725 from it.”29At the soundH6963 of the horsemanH6571 and bowmanH7411H7198 19everyH3605 cityH5892 fleesH1272; They 20goH935 into the thicketsH5645 and climbH5927 among the rocksH3710; 21EveryH3605 cityH5892 is forsakenH5800, And noH369 manH376 dwellsH3427 in them.
