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.

“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.
