Jeremiah 4:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ For thus saith the Lord: All the land shall be desolate, but yet I will not utterly destroy.

²⁸ The earth shall mourn, and the heavens shall lament from above: because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I have not repented, neither am I turned away from it.

²⁹ At the voice of the horsemen, and the archers, all the city is fled away; they have entered into thickets and have climbed up the rocks: all the cities are forsaken, and there dwelleth not a man in them.
