Jeremiah 4:23-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²³ I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void;
    and to the heavens, and they had no light.
²⁴ I looked on the mountains, and lo, they were quaking,
    and all the hills moved to and fro.
²⁵ I looked, and lo, there was no one at all,
    and all the birds of the air had fled.
²⁶ I looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert,
    and all its cities were laid in ruins
    before the Lord, before his fierce anger.
