21 Ad mosai (how long) shall I see the nes (banner), and hear the kol shofar?
22 For Ami is foolish, they have not known Me; they are stupid banim, and they have no understanding; they are chachamim to do evil, but to do good they have no da'as.
23 I beheld ha'aretz, and, hinei, it was tohu vavohu [Genesis 1:2]; and HaShomayim--there was no ohr.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, hinei, they quaked, and all the hills had crumbled.
25 I beheld, and, hinei, there was no adam, and kol oph HaShomayim fled away.
26 I beheld, and, hinei, the carmel was a midbar, and all the cities thereof lay in ruins before Hashem, before the charon af Hashem.
27 For thus hath Hashem said, A wasteland shall be kol HaAretz; yet I will not make a complete end of it.
