Jeremiah 9:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord,
and shall I not bring retribution
on a nation such as this?(A)
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.(B)
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.(C)
