Jeremiah 4:23-27

Complete Jewish Bible

²³ I looked at the land — it was unformed and void —
and at the sky — it had no light.
²⁴ I looked at the mountains, and they shook —
all the hills moved back and forth.
²⁵ I looked, and there was no human being;
all the birds in the air had fled.
²⁶ I looked, and the fertile fields were a desert,
all the land’s cities were razed to the ground
at the presence of Adonai,
before his burning anger.

“The whole land will be desolate
(although I will not destroy it completely).
