Jeremiah 9:9-11
Expanded Bible

9 Shouldn’t I punish the people [C of Judah] for doing this?” says the Lord.
    “Shouldn’t I ·give a nation like this the punishment [L get revenge on a nation as] it deserves?”

10 I [C Jeremiah] will ·cry loudly [L take up crying and wailing] for the mountains
    and sing a ·funeral song [lamentation] for the ·empty fields [L pastures of the wilderness].
They are ·empty [scorched], and no one passes through.
    The ·mooing [L sound] of cattle cannot be heard.
The birds of the ·air [heavens]
    and the animals have fled and are gone.

11 “I, the Lord, will make the city of Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
    a home for wild dogs.
I will destroy the cities of Judah
    so no one can live there.”

9 Should I not punish them for this?”
    declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(A) myself
    on such a nation as this?”

    and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.(B)
They are desolate and untraveled,
    and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds(C) have all fled
    and the animals are gone.

    a haunt of jackals;(E)
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah(F)
    so no one can live there.”(G)
