Jeremiah 4:23 - 4:29

I saw on the earth, and behold, it was formless and void;

And to the heavens, and they had no light.

I saw on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,

And all the hills moved to and fro.

I saw, and behold, there was no man,

And all the birds of the sky had fled.

I saw, and behold, the fruitful orchard was a wilderness,

And all its cities were torn down

Before Yahweh, before His burning anger.

27 For thus says Yahweh,

“The whole land shall be a desolation,

Yet I will not execute a complete destruction.

For this the earth shall mourn

And the heavens above be dark

Because I have spoken; I have purposed,

And I will not relent, nor will I turn from it.”

At the sound of the horseman and bowman every city flees;

They go into the thickets and climb up among the rocks;

Every city is forsaken,

And no man inhabits them.
