I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger.For Yahweh says,“ The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it. I have planned it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.”Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers. They go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks. Every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.

Turn away your faces from all your abominations.“‘“ For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Yahweh will answer him by myself.
