Jeremiah 4:23-29

Jubilee Bible 2000

²³ I beheld the earth, and, behold, it was without order, and empty; and the heavens, and they had no light.

²⁴ I beheld the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills were destroyed.

²⁵ I beheld, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled.

²⁶ I beheld, and, behold, Carmel was a wilderness, and all its cities 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 I will not make a full end.

²⁸ For this shall the earth be made desolate, and the heavens above be darkened because I spoke; I purposed and did not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

²⁹ The whole city fled from the thunder of the horsemen and bowmen; they went into the thickets of the forests and climbed up upon the rocks; every city was forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.
