Jeremiah 9:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.

⁹ Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?

¹⁰ For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
