Jeremiah 9:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

They speak deceitfully.

but they think of ways to set traps for them.
⁹I will punish them for these things, declares the Lord.
I will punish this nation.
I still won’t be satisfied.

¹⁰I will cry and weep for the mountains.

They are destroyed so that no one can travel through them.
No one can hear the sound of cattle.
Birds and cattle have fled.
They are gone.
