Jeremiah 4:27-29

Modern English Version

The whole land shall be desolate.
    Yet I will not make a full end.
²⁸ For this the earth shall mourn,
    and the heavens above be black,
because I have spoken it, I have purposed it,
    and will not relent, nor will I turn back from it.

²⁹ The whole city shall flee
    for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen.
They shall go into thickets
    and climb up upon the rocks.
Every city shall be forsaken,
    and not a man dwell in it.
