21. How long will I see the standard,And hear the sound of the trumpet?
22. “For My people are foolish,They have not known Me.They are silly children,And they have no understanding.They are wise to do evil,But to do good they have no knowledge.”
23. I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void;And the heavens, they had no light.
24. I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled,And all the hills moved back and forth.
25. I beheld, and indeed there was no man,And all the birds of the heavens had fled.
26. I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness,And all its cities were broken downAt the presence of the Lord,By His fierce anger.
