Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself(A)

for they have been so scorched
that no one passes through.
The sound of cattle is no longer heard.
From the birds of the sky to the animals,(B)

11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble,(C)
a jackals’ den.(D)
I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
an uninhabited place.
