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

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.”
