I looked at the earth. It didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. I looked at the sky. Its light was gone.

先知说：“我观看地，不料，地是空虚混沌；我观看天，天也无光。

我观看地，看哪，地是空虚混沌；我观看天，天也无光。

我观看地，看哪，地是空虚混沌；我观看天，天也无光。

我俯瞰大地，一片空虚混沌；我仰望天空，毫无亮光。

我观看地，地是空虚混沌；我仰视天，天上也全然无光。

先知說：我觀看地，不料，地是空虛混沌；我觀看天，天也無光。

我觀看地，看哪，地是空虛混沌；我觀看天，天也無光。

我觀看地，看哪，地是空虛混沌；我觀看天，天也無光。

我俯瞰大地，一片空虛混沌；我仰望天空，毫無亮光。

我觀看地，地是空虛混沌；我仰視天，天上也全然無光。

我觀看大地，啊，地沒有定形，混混沌沌；我觀看天，天呢、沒有光。

我觀大地則虛曠混沌、我觀諸天則無光、

耶利米曰、我觀地虛曠、天無光、

先知曰、我觀地、地空虛混亂、觀天、天昏黑無光、

I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone.

I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light.

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 earth, and it was formless and empty. I looked to the heavens, and their light was gone.

I looked at the earth, and behold, it was a formless and desolate emptiness; And to the heavens, and they had no light.

I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; And the heavens, they had no light.

I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty. I looked to the heavens, and their light was gone.

I beheld the earth, and, lo,[ it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they[ had] no light.

“ I looked at the land and saw that it was an empty wasteland. I looked up at the sky, and its light had vanished.

I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.

“ Right after the terrible suffering of those days,“‘ The sun will be darkened. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. The heavenly bodies will be shaken.’( Isaiah 13:10; 34:4)

“ So in those days there will be terrible suffering. After that, Scripture says,“‘ The sun will be darkened. The moon will not shine.The stars will fall from the sky. The heavenly bodies will be shaken.’( Isaiah 13:10; 34:4)

The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

All the stars in the sky will stop giving their light. The sun will be darkened as soon as it rises. The moon will not shine.

The sun and moon will become dark. The stars won’t shine anymore.The Lord will roar like a lion from Jerusalem. His voice will sound like thunder from Zion. The earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will keep the people of Israel safe. He will be a place of safety for them.

“ There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. The nations of the earth will be in terrible pain. They will be puzzled by the roaring and tossing of the sea.Terror will make people faint. They will be worried about what is happening in the world. The sun, moon and stars will be shaken from their places.

As they march forward, the earth shakes. The heavens tremble as they approach. The sun and moon grow dark. And the stars stop shining.

When I wipe you out, I will put a cover over the heavens. I will darken the stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud. The moon will stop shining.I will darken all the bright lights in the sky above you. I will bring darkness over your land,” announces the Lord and King.

I will show wonders in the heavens above. I will show signs on the earth below. There will be blood and fire and clouds of smoke.The sun will become dark. The moon will turn red like blood. This will happen before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

At that time the enemy army will roar over Israel. It will sound like the roaring of the ocean. If someone looks at the land of Israel, there is only darkness and trouble. The clouds will make even the sun become dark.

The Lord and King announces,“ At that time I will make the sun go down at noon. The earth will become dark in the middle of the day.

I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them.

Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away.

I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth. There will be blood and fire and clouds of smoke.The sun will become dark. The moon will turn red like blood. It will happen before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.

The earth will be broken up. It will split open. It will be shaken to pieces.The earth will be unsteady like someone who is drunk. It will sway like a tent in the wind. Its sin will weigh so heavily on it that it will fall. It will never get up again.At that time the Lord will punish the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens above. He will also punish the kings on the earth below.They will be brought together like prisoners in chains. They’ll be locked up in prison. After many days the Lord will punish them.The Lord who rules over all will rule on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The elders of the city will be there. They will see his great glory. His rule will be so glorious that the sun and moon will be too ashamed to shine.

I will cry and mourn over the mountains. I will sing a song of sadness about the desert grasslands. They are dry and empty. No one travels through them. The mooing of cattle isn’t heard there. The birds have flown away. All the animals are gone.
