"Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is  spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled and my curtains in a moment.
    How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
    For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
   I beheld the earth, and lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens and they had no light.
I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
   I beheld, and lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
   I beheld, and lo the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the
presence of the Lord and by his fierce anger.
   For thus hath the Lord said, The whole lands shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
   For this shall the earth morn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it.  I have proposed it and will not repent neither will I turn back from it.
     The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken and not a man dwell therein.
     And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?  Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shall thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
    For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, and voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spredeth her hand, saying. Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murders.

5  Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there  be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth, and I will pardon it.
   And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely?
   O Lord are not thine eyes upon the truth?  thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
    Therefore I said, Surely thee are poor; they are foolish; for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God."
