Jeremiah 4:25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 I looked—there was no one;
even the birds of the air had flown away!
Jeremiah 12:4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 How long must the land mourn,
the grass of the whole countryside wither?
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it
beasts and birds disappear,
for they say, “God does not care about our future.”
