Jeremiah 4:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ How long must I see the standard raised
    and hear the sound of the trumpet?
²² My people are fools;
    they do not know me.
They are senseless children
    who have no semblance of understanding.
They are skilled in the practice of evil
    but they do not know how to do good.
²³ I looked at the earth,
    and it was a formless wasteland;
I gazed at the heavens,
    but I could not discern any light.
