Jeremiah 4:23-29
New American Standard Bible
23 I looked at the earth, and behold, it was a [a](A)formless and desolate emptiness;
And to the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were (B)quaking,
And all the hills jolted back and forth.
25 I looked, and behold, there was no human,
And all the (C)birds of the sky had fled.
26 I looked, and behold, [b]the (D)fruitful land was a wilderness,
And all its cities were pulled down
Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.
27 For this is what the Lord says:
“The (E)whole land shall be a desolation,
Yet I will (F)not execute a complete destruction.
28 For this the (G)earth will mourn,
And the (H)heavens above will become dark,
Because I have (I)spoken, I have purposed,
And I have not [c]changed My mind, nor will I turn from it.”
29 At the sound of the horseman and archer (J)every city flees;
They (K)go into the thickets and climb among the rocks;
(L)Every city is abandoned,
And no one lives in them.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty.(A)
I looked to the heavens,
and their light was gone.(B)
24 I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;(C)
all the hills shook.
25 I looked, and no man was left;(D)
all the birds of the sky had fled.(E)
26 I looked, and the fertile field(F) was a wilderness.(G)
All its cities were torn down
because of the Lord
and His burning anger.(H)
27 For this is what the Lord says:
The whole land will be a desolation,(I)
but I will not finish it off.(J)
28 Because of this, the earth will mourn;(K)
the skies above will grow dark.(L)
I have spoken; I have planned,
and I will not relent or turn back from it.(M)
29 Every city flees(N)
at the sound of the horseman and the archer.
They enter the thickets
and climb among the rocks.(O)
Every city is abandoned;
no inhabitant is left.
