They have not known Me.
They are1 silly children,
And they have no understanding.
aThey are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.”
And the heavens, they had no light.
And all its cities were broken down
At the presence of the Lord,
By His fierce anger.
And bthe heavens above be black,
Because I have spoken.
I have cpurposed and dwill not relent,
Nor will I turn back from it.
| << Jeremiah 4:22 | Jeremiah 4:24 >> |
