24. I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled.
25. I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone.
26. I looked, and behold Carmel was a wilderness: and all its cities were destroyed at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of the wrath of his indignation.
27. For thus saith the Lord: All the land shall be desolate, but yet I will not utterly destroy.
28. The earth shall mourn, and the heavens shall lament from above: because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I have not repented, neither am I turned away from it.
