Jeremiah 4:22-27

BSB(i) 22 “For My people are fools; they have not known Me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but they know not how to do good.” 23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and void; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking; all the hills were swaying. 25 I looked, and no man was left; all the birds of the air had fled. 26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert. All its cities were torn down before the LORD, before His fierce anger. 27 For this is what the LORD says: “The whole land will be desolate, but I will not finish its destruction.
