Bible. Jeremiah
24:004:011 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem,
A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the
daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
24:004:012 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now
also will I give sentence against them.
24:004:013 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be
as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto
us! for we are spoiled.
24:004:014 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou
mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within
thee?
24:004:015 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from
mount Ephraim.
24:004:016 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against
Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out
their voice against the cities of Judah.
24:004:017 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about;
because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
24:004:018 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee;
this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it
reacheth unto thine heart.
24:004:019 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart
maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou
hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of
war.
24:004:020 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is
spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a
moment.
24:004:021 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the
trumpet?
24:004:022 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are
sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are
wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
24:004:023 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void;
and the heavens, and they had no light.
24:004:024 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the
hills moved lightly.
24:004:025 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the
heavens were fled.
24:004:026 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and
all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the
LORD, and by his fierce anger.
24:004:027 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate;
yet will I not make a full end.
24:004:028 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be
black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will
not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
