I looked upon the earth, and behold, [it was] not; and to the sky, and there was no light in it.

I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.

How long shall the land mourn, and the grass of the field wither, because the wickedness of them that dwell in it? The beasts and birds are utterly destroyed, because [the people] said, God shall not see our ways.

For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course has become evil, and so [also] their strength.

The earth mourns, and the world is ruined, the lofty ones of the earth are mourning.

For the ways of these shall be made desolate; the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and you shall by no means deem them men.

The land mourns; Lebanon is ashamed; Sharon has become a marsh; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Carmel.

Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail:

For the plains languish: let the land mourn, for the grain languishes; the wine is dried up, the oil becomes scarce;

And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.

And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll; and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig tree.

I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.

And I will show wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapors of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, darkness came upon all the land.

Now when the sixth hour had come, darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, that there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became like blood.

Therefore do not pray for this people, and do not intercede for them to be pitied. Yes, do not pray, and do not approach Me for them, for I will not hearken [unto you].

And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people, for [their] good:

for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.

And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before My face, My soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, and let them go forth.

And I will punish them with four kinds [of death], says the Lord, the sword to slay, the dogs to tear, the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the sky to devour and destroy.

Who will spare you, O Jerusalem? And who will fear for you? Or who will turn back [to ask] about your welfare?

And I will completely scatter them; in the gates of My people they are bereaved of children. They have destroyed My people because of their iniquities.

She that bore seven is spent; her soul has fainted under trouble; her sun is gone down while it is yet noon; she is ashamed and disgraced. I will give the remnant of them to the sword before their enemies.

God is not as a man that He should waver, nor as a son of man that He should be threatened; shall He say and not perform? Shall He speak and not keep [His word]?

And Israel shall be divided in two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for He is not as a man to repent.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain;

This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth; and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.

declaring beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together; and I said, all My counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned;

calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned; I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.

I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices. Therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.

I will deliver [them] out of the power of Hades, and will redeem them from death. O death, where is your punishment? O Hades, where is your sting? Comfort is hidden from My eyes.

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him that said to Him: "The LORD has sworn and will not relent, 'You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek'",
