Jeremiah 9:11-13
New International Version
11 “I will make Jerusalem a heap(A) of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;(B)
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah(C)
so no one can live there.”(D)

13 The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.(F)
