27 For the Lord saith these things, All the land shall be forsaken, but nevertheless, I shall not make a [full] ending.

28 The earth shall mourn, and (the) heavens above shall make sorrow, for that I spake; I thought, and it repented not me (I thought, and I shall not repent), neither I am turned away from it.

29 Each city fled from the voice of a knight, and a man shooting an arrow (Each city fled from the shouts of the horsemen, and the men shooting arrows); they entered into hard places, and ascended into rocks of stone; all [the] cities be forsaken, and no man dwelleth in them.

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.
