10 I will weep and wail for the mountains
    and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.(A)
They are desolate and untraveled,
    and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds(B) have all fled
    and the animals are gone.

11 “I will make Jerusalem a heap(C) of ruins,
    a haunt of jackals;(D)
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah(E)
    so no one can live there.”(F)

10 I will raise weeping and a lament
over the mountains,
a dirge over the wilderness grazing land,
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,(A)
everything has fled—they have gone away.
11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble,(B)

an uninhabited place.
