And (D)all the birds of the heavens had fled.
26 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a (E)wilderness,
And all its cities were broken down
At the presence of the Lord,
By His fierce anger.
27 For thus says the Lord:
“The whole land shall be desolate;
(F)Yet I will not make a full end.

And (H)the heavens above be black,
Because I have spoken.
I have (I)purposed and (J)will not relent,
Nor will I turn back from it.
