Jeremiah 4:22-24

Good News Translation

²² The Lord says, “My people are stupid;
    they don't know me.
They are like foolish children;
    they have no understanding.
They are experts at doing what is evil,
    but failures at doing what is good.”

²³ I looked at the earth—it was a barren waste;
    at the sky—there was no light.
²⁴ I looked at the mountains—they were shaking,
    and the hills were rocking back and forth.
