Jeremiah 4:23-31 - Jeremiah's Vision Of The Coming Destruction
23 I looked on the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I looked on the mountains, and, lo, they quaked; and all the hills were shaken. 25 I looked, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled. 26 I looked, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down before the face of Jehovah, before His fierce anger.
27 For so Jehovah has said, The whole land shall be desolate, yet I will not make a full end. 28 The earth shall mourn for this, and the heavens above shall be black, because I have spoken, I have purposed, and will not repent, nor will I turn back from it.
29 Every city shall flee from the sound of the horsemen and bowmen. They shall go into thickets and climb up among the rocks. All the city is abandoned, and not a man shall live in them. 30 And you, O desolate one, what will you do? Though you dress with crimson, though you put on ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes large with paint, you shall make yourself beautiful in vain; your lovers will despise you; they will seek your life. 31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor, the anguish as one bearing her first child, the voice of Zion's daughter, gasping and spreading her hands, saying, Woe to me now! For my soul faints because of murderers.
