Jeremiah 9:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jeremiah 9:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Dirge over the Ravaged Land
9 Over the mountains I shall break out in cries of lamentation,
over the pastures in the wilderness, in a dirge:
They are scorched, and no one crosses them,
no sound of lowing cattle;
Birds of the air as well as beasts,
all have fled and are gone.(A)
10 I will turn Jerusalem into a heap of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;
The cities of Judah I will make a waste,
where no one dwells.(B)
11 Who is wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken? Let him declare it!
Why is the land ravaged,
scorched like a wilderness no one crosses?(C)
Jeremiah 9:9-11
New International Version
Jeremiah 9:9-11
New International Version
9 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(A) myself
on such a nation as this?”
