Jeremiah 4:24–26

I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,

and all the hills moved to and fro.

I looked, and behold, there was no man,

and all the birds of the air had fled.

I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert,

and all its cities were laid in ruins

before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

I looked at the mountains,

and they were quaking;

all the hills were swaying.

I looked, and there were no people;

every bird in the sky had flown away.

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;

all its towns lay in ruins

before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

I looked at the mountains and hills,

and they trembled and shook.

I looked, and all the people were gone.

All the birds of the sky had flown away.

I looked, and the fertile fields had become a wilderness.

The towns lay in ruins,

crushed by the Lord’s fierce anger.

I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,

and all of the hills were jolted to and fro.

I looked and behold, there was no person,

and all of the birds of the sky had fled.

I looked and behold, the fruitful land was a desert,

and all of its cities were ruined before Yahweh,

before the face of his burning anger.

I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled,

And all the hills moved lightly.

I beheld, and, lo, there was no man,

And all the birds of the heavens were fled.

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.
