and all of the hills were jolted to and fro.

and all of the birdst of the sky had fled.

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

and all of its cities were ruined before Yahweh,

before the face of his burning anger.v

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
