23. I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24. I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25. I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.
26. I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger.
27. For Yahweh says, “The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.
28. For this the earth will 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.”
