Jeremiah 9:9-11

Modern English Version

¹⁰ For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing,
    and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation,
because they are burned up so that no one can pass through them;
    nor can men hear the lowing of the cattle.
Both the fowl of the heavens and the beast have fled;
    they are gone.

¹¹ I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins
    and a den of jackals;
and I will make the cities of Judah desolate,
    without an inhabitant.
