Jeremiah 4:20-29
20DestructionH7667 uponH5921 destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the wholeH3605 landH776 is spoiled: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiled, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.
21HowH4970 longH5704 shall I seeH7200 the standardH5251, and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782?
22For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they knowH3045 meH995 notH3808; they are sottish childrenH1121, and they have noneH3808 understandingH995: they are wiseH2450 to doH3190 evilH7489, but to doH3190 goodH3190 they have noH3808 knowledgeH3045.
23I beheld the earthH776, and, loH2009, it was wasteH8414 and voidH922; and the heavensH8064, and they had noH369 lightH216.
24I beheld the mountainsH2022, and, loH2009, they trembled, and allH3605 the hillsH1389 movedH7043 to and froH7043.
25I beheld, and, loH2009, there was noH369 manH120, and allH3605 the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 were fledH5074.
26I beheld, and, loH2009, the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759 was a wildernessH4057, and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof were brokenH5422 downH5422 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his fierceH2740 angerH639.
27For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, The wholeH3605 landH776 shall be a desolationH8077; yet will I notH3808 makeH6213 a fullH3605 endH3617.
28For this shall the earthH776 mournH56, and the heavensH8064 aboveH5921 be blackH6937: becauseH3588 I have spokenH1696 it, I have purposedH2161 it, and I have notH3808 repentedH5162, neitherH3808 will I turnH7725 backH7725 from it.
29The wholeH3605 cityH5892 fleeth for the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571 and bowmenH7198; they goH935 intoH935 the thicketsH5645, and climbH5927 upH5927 uponH935 the rocksH3710: everyH3605 cityH5892 is forsaken, and notH369 a manH376 dwelleth therein.
