Yeremia 4:26-27

4:26 I looked and saw that the fruitful land had become a desert

and that all of the cities had been laid in ruins.

The Lord had brought this all about

because of his blazing anger. ¹ 

4:27 All this will happen because the Lord said, ² 

“The whole land will be desolate;

however, I will not completely destroy it.

[4:26]  ¹ tn Heb “because of the Lord, because of his blazing anger.”

[4:27]  ² tn Heb “For this is what the Lord said,”
