Jeremiah 4:26-28

Amplified Bible

²⁶
I looked, and behold, the fertile land was a wilderness,
And all its cities were pulled down
Before the [presence of the] Lord, before His fierce anger.

²⁷
Therefore says the Lord,
“The whole land shall be a desolation,
Yet I will not cause total destruction.^(A)
²⁸
“For this reason the earth shall mourn
And the heavens above shall become dark,
Because I have spoken, I have decided,
And I will not change my mind (relent), nor will I turn back from it.”
