They are skillful at doing evil, But they do not know how to do good.”I looked at the earth, and behold, it was a formless and desolate emptiness; And to the heavens, and they had no light.I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, And all the hills jolted back and forth.I looked, and behold, there was no human, And all the birds of the sky had fled.I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were pulled down Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.
