New American Standard Bible
Jeremiah 9:10-12
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.
11 I will make Jerusalem a (E)heap of ruins,
A haunt of (F)jackals;
And I will make the cities of Judah a (G)desolation without inhabitant.”
12 Who is the (H)wise person who may understand this? And who is he to whom (I)the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? (J)Why is the land destroyed, laid waste like the desert, so that no one passes through?

New International Version
Jeremiah 9:10-12
New International Version
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains
and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.(A)
They are desolate and untraveled,
and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds(B) have all fled
and the animals are gone.
11 “I will make Jerusalem a heap(C) of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;(D)
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah(E)
so no one can live there.”(F)
12 Who is wise(G) enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?
