Jeremiah 4:20-26

Disaster after disaster  is reported because the whole land is destroyed. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, my tent curtains, in a moment. How long must I see the signal flag and hear the sound of the ram’s horn? “For my people are fools; they do not know me. They are foolish children, without understanding.  They are skilled in doing what is evil, but they do not know how to do what is good.”  I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty.  I looked to the heavens, and their light was gone.  I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking;  all the hills shook. I looked, and there was no human being,  and all the birds of the sky had fled.  I looked, and the fertile field  was a wilderness.  All its cities were torn down because of the  LORD and his burning anger.
