10 For the mountains I lift up weeping and wailing,
    and for the pastures of the desert a lament,
because they are laid waste so that no man passes through.
    And the sounds[a] of cattle are not heard,

11 And I will make Jerusalem as heaps of ruins, a lair of jackals,
    and the towns of Judah I will make a desolation, without inhabitants.[d]
