23. I beheld the earth, and lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24. I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25. I beheld, and lo, there was no man, and all the fowls of the heavens had fled.
26. I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
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.
