Jeremiah 4:26-28

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.

²⁸ For this the earth shall mourn,
    and the heavens above be black;
for I have spoken, I have purposed;
    I have not relented nor will I turn back.”
