Jeremiah 4:23-29 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²³I looked at the earth,

and it was formless and void;

I looked to the heavens,

and they had no light.

²⁴I looked at the mountains,

and behold, they were quaking;

all the hills were swaying.

²⁵I looked, and no man was left;

all the birds of the air had fled.

²⁶I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert.

All its cities were torn down

before the LORD,

before His fierce anger.

²⁷For this is what the LORD says:

“The whole land will be desolate,

but I will not finish its destruction.

²⁸Therefore the earth will mourn

and the heavens above will grow dark.

I have spoken, I have planned,

and I will not relent or turn back.”

²⁹Every city flees

at the sound of the horseman and archer.

They enter the thickets

and climb among the rocks.

Every city is abandoned;

no inhabitant is left.

— Jeremiah 4:23-29
