21 ¿Hasta cuándo tengo de ver bandera, tengo de oir voz de trompeta?

22 Porque mi pueblo es necio; no me conocieron los hijos ignorantes y los no entendidos; sabios para mal hacer, y para bien hacer no supieron.

23 Miré la tierra, y he aquí que estaba asolada y vacía; y los cielos, y no había en ellos luz.

24 Miré los montes, y he aquí que temblaban, y todos los collados fueron destruídos.

25 Miré, y no parecía hombre, y todas las aves del cielo se habían ido.
