²³ 
I looked at the earth [in my vision], and behold, it was [as at the time of creation] formless and void;
And to the heavens, and they had no light.
²⁴ 
I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were trembling,
And all the hills moved back and forth.
²⁵ 
I looked, and behold, there was no man,
And all the birds of the air had fled.
