Waves of destruction roll over the land, until it lies in complete desolation.

They are clever enough at doing wrong, but they have no idea how to do right!”I looked at the earth, and it was empty and formless. I looked at the heavens, and there was no light.I looked at the mountains and hills, and they trembled and shook.I looked, and all the people were gone. All the birds of the sky had flown away.I looked, and the fertile fields had become a wilderness. The towns lay in ruins, crushed by the Lord’s fierce anger.

Hear the young lions roaring, for their thickets in the Jordan Valley are ruined.

Its people must pay the price for their sin. They are destroyed by fire, and only a few are left alive.
