(A)Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”

10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains,
And (B)for the [a]dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
Because they are burned up,
So that no one can pass through;
Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
(C)Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
They are gone.

11 “I will make Jerusalem (D)a heap of ruins, (E)a den of jackals.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”
