22 “For my people are foolish;they know me not;they are stupid children;they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!But how to do good they know not.”
23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light.

26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert,and all its cities were laid in ruinsbefore the Lord, before his fierce anger.
27 For thus says the Lord, “The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
