Jeremiah 9:10-11
Lexham English Bible
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,
from the birds[b] of heaven to the animals[c]
they have fled, they are gone.
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]

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.”
