Jeremiah 4:23

Read in context

Jeremiah 4:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 How long must I see the signal flag and hear the sound of the horn?

22 “For My people are fools; they have not known Me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but they know not how to do good.”

23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and void; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light.

24 I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.

25 I looked, and no man was left; all the birds of the air had fled.
