 ²² "My people are fools;
       they do not know me.
       They are senseless children;
       they have no understanding.
       They are skilled in doing evil;
       they know not how to do good."

 ²³ I looked at the earth,
       and it was formless and empty;
       and at the heavens,
       and their light was gone.

 ²⁴ I looked at the mountains,
       and they were quaking;
       all the hills were swaying.

 ²⁵ I looked, and there were no people;
       every bird in the sky had flown away.

 ²⁶ I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;
       all its towns lay in ruins
       before the LORD, before his fierce anger.

 ²⁷ This is what the LORD says:
       "The whole land will be ruined,
       though I will not destroy it completely.

 ²⁸ Therefore the earth will mourn
       and the heavens above grow dark,
       because I have spoken and will not relent,
       I have decided and will not turn back."
