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)

  1. 9.10 Gk Syr: Heb I will take up

10 “I will take up a weeping and wailing for the (A)mountains,
And for the pastures of the (B)wilderness a song of mourning,
Because they are (C)laid waste so that no one passes through,
And the sound of the livestock is not heard;
Both the (D)birds of the sky and the animals have fled; they are gone.
11 I will make Jerusalem a (E)heap of ruins,
A haunt of (F)jackals;
And I will make the cities of Judah a (G)desolation without inhabitant.”
