Jeremiah 4:25–27

25 I looked, and there were no people;

every bird in the sky had flown away.

26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;

all its towns lay in ruins

before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

27 This is what the Lord says:

“The whole land will be ruined,

though I will not destroy it completely.

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

And all the birds of the heavens were fled.

26 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.

27 For thus hath the Lord said,

The whole land shall be desolate;

Yet will I not make a full end.

25 I looked, and all the people were gone.

All the birds of the sky had flown away.

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

The towns lay in ruins,

crushed by the Lord’s fierce anger.

27 This is what the Lord says:

“The whole land will be ruined,

but I will not destroy it completely.

25 I beheld, and indeed there was no man,

And all the birds of the heavens had fled.

26 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness,

And all its cities were broken down

At the presence of the Lord,

By His fierce anger.

27 For thus says the Lord:

“The whole land shall be desolate;

Yet I will not make a full end.

25 I looked, and there were no people.

Every bird in the sky had flown away.

26 I looked, and the good, rich land had become a desert.

All its towns had been destroyed

by the Lord and his great anger.

27 This is what the Lord says:

“All the land will be ruined,

but I will not completely destroy it.

25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, and before his fierce anger.

27 For thus saith Jehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.

25 I beheld, and lo, man was not, and all the fowl of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and lo, the fruitful land was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down, before Jehovah, before his fierce anger. 27 For thus saith Jehovah: The whole land shall be a desolation; but I will not make a full end.

25 I see that there are no people, 

and every bird has flown away. 

26 I see that the fertile land has become a desert, 

and all its cities are torn down 

because of the Lord and his burning anger. 

27 This is what the Lord says: 

The whole earth will be ruined, 

although I will not destroy it completely. 

25 I looked, and no man was left;

all the birds of the sky had fled.

26 I looked, and the fertile field was a wilderness.

All its cities were torn down

because of the Lord

and His burning anger.

27 For this is what the Lord says:

The whole land will be a desolation,

but I will not finish it off.

25 I looked, and there was no one at all,

and all the birds of the air had fled.

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

and all its cities were laid in ruins

before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

27 For thus says the Lord: The whole land shall be a desolation, yet I will not make a full end.

25 I looked and behold, there was no person,

and all of the birds of the sky had fled.

26 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.

27 For thus says Yahweh, “All of the land will be a desolation,

yet I will not make a complete desolation.

25 I looked. And there weren’t any people.

Every bird in the sky had flown away.

26 I looked. And the fruitful land had become a desert.

All of its towns were destroyed.

The Lord had done all of that because of his burning anger.

27 The Lord says,

“The whole land will be destroyed.

But I will not destroy it completely.

25 I looked, and behold, there was no man,

And all the birds of the heavens had fled.

26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness,

And all its cities were pulled down

Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.

27 For thus says the Lord,

“The whole land shall be a desolation,

Yet I will not execute a complete destruction.
