I am afflicted in my heart, in my heart. The senses of my heart have been stirred up within me. I will not remain silent. For my soul has heard the voice of the trumpet, the clamor of the battle.
Destruction upon destruction has been called forth. And the entire earth has been devastated. My tabernacles have been destroyed suddenly, and my tents in an instant.
How long shall I watch those who are fleeing, and listen to the voice of the trumpet?
For my foolish people have not known me. They are foolish and mad sons. They are clever in doing evil, but they do not know how to do good.
I gazed upon the earth, and behold, it was empty and brought to nothing. And I gazed upon the heavens, but there was no light in them.
I watched the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills were shaken.
I looked, and there was no man. And all the flying things of the air had gone away.
