²⁴ I looked on the mountains, and they were quaking,
    and all the hills moved to and fro.^(A)
25 I looked, and there was no one at all,
    and all the birds of the air had fled.^(B)
26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert,
    and all its cities were laid in ruins
    before the Lord, before his fierce anger.^(C)

³ Therefore the land mourns,
    and all who live in it languish;
together with the wild animals
    and the birds of the air,
    even the fish of the sea are perishing.^(A)
