Jeremiah 4:23-26

Jeremiah 4:23-26

[23] I beheld  the earth,  and, lo, it was without form,  and void;  and the heavens,  and they had no light.  [24] I beheld  the mountains,  and, lo, they trembled,  and all the hills  moved lightly.  [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.
