22. I heard the Lord say,“My people ignore me.They are foolish childrenwho do not understandthat they will be punished.All they know is how to sin.”
23. After this, I looked around.The earth was barren,with no form of life.The sun, moon, and starshad disappeared.
24. The mountains were shaking;
25. no people could be seen,and all the birdshad flown away.
