Jeremiah 9:10-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)

Jeremiah 9:10-11
International Standard Version
10 I’ll weep and mourn for the mountains,
and lament for the desert pastures,
because they are desolate and no one passes through them.
They don’t hear the lowing of the cattle.
Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled.
They’re gone!
11 “I’ll make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
a refuge for jackals.
I’ll make the towns of Judah desolate,
without inhabitants.”
