Jeremiah 9:10
New American Standard Bible
10 “I will take up a weeping and wailing for the (A)mountains,
And for the pastures of the (B)wilderness a song of mourning,
Because they are (C)laid waste so that no one passes through,
And the sound of the livestock is not heard;
Both the (D)birds of the sky and the animals have fled; they are gone.
Jeremiah 9:10
New International Version
Jeremiah 9:10
King James Version
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

Jeremiah 9:17-21
New American Standard Bible
17 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“Consider and call for the (A)mourning women, that they may come;
And send for the [a](B)skillful women, that they may come!
18 Have them hurry and take up a wailing for us,
So that our (C)eyes may shed tears,
And our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a voice of (D)wailing is heard from Zion:
‘(E)How devastated we are!
We are put to great shame,
For we have (F)abandoned the land
Because they have torn down our homes.’”
20 Now hear the word of the Lord, you (G)women,
And let your ears receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And have every woman teach her neighbor a song of mourning.
21 For (H)death has come up through our windows;
It has entered our palaces
To eliminate the (I)children from the streets,
The young men from the public squares.

Jeremiah 9:17-21
New International Version
17 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Consider now! Call for the wailing women(A) to come;
send for the most skillful of them.
18 Let them come quickly
and wail over us
till our eyes overflow with tears
and water streams from our eyelids.(B)
19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How ruined(C) we are!
How great is our shame!
We must leave our land
because our houses are in ruins.’”
20 Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;
open your ears to the words of his mouth.(D)
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.(E)
21 Death has climbed in through our windows(F)
and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
and the young men(G) from the public squares.
Jeremiah 9:17-21
King James Version
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
