Jeremiah 4:25-27

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁵I looked, and lo, there was no one at all,
    and all the birds of the air had fled.
²⁶I looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert,
    and all its cities were laid in ruins
    before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

²⁷For thus says the Lord: The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
