Jeremiah 4:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ I looked and behold, the fruitful land was a desert,^[a]
    and all of its cities were ruined before Yahweh,
    before the face of his burning anger.^[b]
27 For thus says Yahweh, “All of the land will be a desolation,
    yet I will not make a complete desolation.
²⁸ Because of this the earth will mourn,
    and the heavens above will become dark.
Because I have spoken, I have planned,
    and I have not relented, and I will not turn back from it.”
