Jeremiah 4:22

An Invasion From The North

²¹ How long must I see the signal flag
and hear the sound of the ram’s horn? ²² “For My people are fools;
they do not know Me.
They are foolish children,
without understanding.
They are skilled in doing what is evil,
but they do not know how to do what is good.” ²³ I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty.
I looked to the heavens,
and their light was gone.
