The earth waste and void and the heavens without light, which the speaker sees

말하는 이가 본 혼돈하고 공허한 땅과 빛이 없는 하늘

Jeremiah 4:23–28: the speaker (“I”) says, “I saw the earth and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light. I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth. I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled. I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, before his fierce anger.” The text goes on, “For the LORD says, ‘The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end. For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black, because I have spoken it. I have planned it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.’” No verse of 4:23–28 names the speaker. The Korean Revised Version reads at 4:23 하늘들을 우러른즉, looking up to the heavens, at 4:26 좋은 땅 (the good land) where WEB reads “the fruitful field”, and closes 4:28 with 하셨음이로다.
