4  How long will the land ^tmourn

and the grass of every field wither?

For the evil of those who dwell in it

the beasts and the ^ubirds are swept away,

because they said, “He will not see our latter end.”

11  They have made it a desolation;

desolate, it mourns to me.

The whole land is made desolate,

but ^yno man lays it to heart.
