Jeremiah 4:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹How long must I see the standard
And hear the sound of the trumpet?
²²“^(A)For My people are foolish,
They know Me not;
They are stupid children
And have no understanding.
They are shrewd to ^(B)do evil,
But to do good they do not know.”

²³I looked on the earth, and behold, it was ^[a]^(C) formless and void;
And to the heavens, and they had no light.
