⁴ How long will the land mourn^(A)
and the grass of every field wither?
Because of the evil of its residents,
animals and birds have been swept away,^(B)
for the people have said,
‘He cannot see what our end will be.’^[a],^(C)

¹¹ They have made it a desolation.
It mourns, desolate, before me.
All the land is desolate,
but no one takes it to heart.^(A)
