CAB(i)
23 I looked upon the earth, and behold, it was not; and to the sky, and there was no light in it.
24 I beheld the mountains, and they trembled, and I saw all the hills in commotion.
25 I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.
26 I saw, and behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of His fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.
27 Thus says the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.
28 For these things let the earth mourn, and let the sky be dark above. For I have spoken, and I will not relent; I have purposed, and I will not turn back from it.
29 The whole land has recoiled from the noise of the horseman and the bent bow; they have gone into the caves, and have hidden themselves in the groves, and have gone up upon the rocks: every city was abandoned, no man dwelt in them.
