Jeremiah 4:23-28
King James Version
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

Jeremiah 4:23-28
New International Version
23 I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty;(A)
and at the heavens,
and their light(B) was gone.
24 I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;(C)
all the hills were swaying.
25 I looked, and there were no people;
every bird in the sky had flown away.(D)
26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;(E)
all its towns lay in ruins(F)
before the Lord, before his fierce anger.(G)
27 This is what the Lord says:
Jeremiah 4:23-28
New King James Version
23 (A)I beheld the earth, and indeed it was (B)without form, and void;
And the heavens, they had no light.
24 (C)I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled,
And all the hills moved back and forth.
25 I beheld, and indeed there was no man,
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.
28 For this (G)shall the earth mourn,
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.
