Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains gone in a moment.How long will I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet?“ For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger.
