20. Destruction upon destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is wasted: suddenly are my tents laid waste, my curtains, in a moment.
21. How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22. For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have no intelligence; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23. I beheld the earth, and lo, it was waste and empty; and the heavens, and they had no light.
