Jeremiah 4:26

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert. All its cities were torn down before the LORD, before His fierce anger.

In context

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.

26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert. All its cities were torn down before the LORD, before His fierce anger.

27 For this is what the LORD says: “The whole land will be desolate, but I will not finish its destruction.

28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above will grow dark. I have spoken, I have planned, and I will not relent or turn back.”
