How long must this go on? Should I sit back and act as though nothing is goin on? The Lord asks. Shouldn't I punish a nation such as this?
See, I will bring a distant nation against you; a mighty nation, an ancient nation whose language you do not understand. The earth shall mourn, the heavens shall be drape with black, because of My decree against my people, but I have made up My mind and I will not change it.
At that time He will send a burning wind from the desert upon them---not in little gusts but in a roaring blast---and He will pronounce their doom. Wave upon wave of destruction rolls over the land, until it lies in utter ruin; suddenly, in a moment, every house is crushed.
I looked down upon their land and as far as I could see in all directions everything was in ruins. And all the heavens were dark. I looked, and mankind was gone and the birds of the heavens had fled away.
Bible: Prophet: Jeremiah
