10 “I will take up a weeping and wailing for the (A)mountains,
And for the pastures of the (B)wilderness a song of mourning,

And the sound of the livestock is not heard;
Both the (D)birds of the sky and the animals have fled; they are gone.

Due to the (C)wickedness of those who live in it,
(D)Animals and birds have been snatched away,
Because people have said, “He will not see our final (E)end.”
