27 This is what Yahweh says:

The whole earth will be ruined,
    although I will not destroy it completely.
28 The earth will mourn, and the sky will grow black.
    I have spoken, and I have planned it.
        I won’t change my plans, and I won’t turn back.
29 All the people in the city will flee
    at the sound of riders and archers.
        They will go off into the thickets
            and climb among the rocks.
    The entire city will be abandoned, and no one will live in it.

27 This is what the Lord says:

“The whole land will be ruined,(A)
    though I will not destroy(B) it completely.
28 Therefore the earth will mourn(C)
    and the heavens above grow dark,(D)
because I have spoken and will not relent,(E)
    I have decided and will not turn back.(F)

29 At the sound of horsemen and archers(G)
    every town takes to flight.(H)
Some go into the thickets;
    some climb up among the rocks.(I)
All the towns are deserted;(J)
    no one lives in them.

27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither 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 therein.
