One trouble follows another. The whole land is destroyed. In an instant my tents are gone. My home disappears in a moment.How long must I look at our enemy’s battle flag? How long must I hear the sound of the trumpets?The Lord says,“ My people are foolish. They do not know me. They are children who do not have any sense. They have no understanding at all. They are skilled in doing what is evil. They do not know how to do what is good.”I looked at the earth. It didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. I looked at the sky. Its light was gone.I looked at the mountains. They were shaking. All the hills were swaying.I looked. And there weren’t any people. Every bird in the sky had flown away.I looked. And the fruitful land had become a desert. All its towns were destroyed. The Lord had done all this because of his great anger.
