Jeremiah 4:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 For thus says the Lord:
The whole earth shall be waste,
but I will not wholly destroy it.(A)
28 Because of this the earth shall mourn,
the heavens above shall darken;
I have spoken, I will not change my mind,
I have decided, I will not turn back.(B)
29 At the shout of rider and archer
each city takes to flight;
They shrink into the thickets,
they scale the rocks:
All the cities are abandoned,
no one lives in them.
