Jeremiah 4 — Context

24

I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.

25

I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.

26

I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, [and] before his fierce anger.

27

For thus says Yahweh, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.

28

For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it."

29

Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.

30

You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; [your] lovers despise you, they seek your life.
