10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains,
And (A)for the [a]dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
Because they are burned up,
So that no one can pass through;
Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
(B)Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
They are gone.

11 “I will make Jerusalem (C)a heap of ruins, (D)a den of jackals.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”

  1. Jeremiah 9:10 Or pastures

10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing,
and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation,
because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them;
neither can men hear the voice of the cattle;
both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons;
and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
