23I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24I saw the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25I saw, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were fled.
26I saw, and, behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities of it were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, [and] before his fierce anger.
27For thus says Yahweh, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.
28For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.
29Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.
