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.

Jeremiah 4:23-29
Common English Bible
23 I looked at the earth,
and it was without shape or form;
at the heavens
and there was no light.
24 I looked at the mountains
and they were quaking;
all the hills were rocking back and forth.
25 I looked and there was no one left;
every bird in the sky had taken flight.
26 I looked and the fertile land was a desert;
all its towns were in ruins
before the Lord,
before his fury.
27 The Lord proclaims:
The whole earth will become a desolation,
but I will not destroy it completely.
28 Therefore, the earth will grieve
and the heavens grow dark
because I have declared my plan
and will neither change my mind
nor cancel the plan.
29 As the horsemen and archers approach,
the people take flight.
They hide in the bushes
and escape to the cliffs.
Every city is deserted;
no one remains.
