10 I will weep and wail for the mountains,
    and lament for the pastures of the wilderness,
because they are burned up, so that no one passes through;
    Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock.
Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled.
    They are gone.

11 “I will make Jerusalem heaps,
    a dwelling place of jackals.
I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
    without inhabitant.”

10 Take up[a] weeping and wailing for the mountains
    and a lamentation for the pastures of the wilderness,
because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,
    and the lowing of cattle is not heard;
both the birds of the air and the animals
    have fled and are gone.(A)
11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
    a lair of jackals,
and I will make the towns of Judah a desolation,
    without inhabitant.(B)
