⁴ How long is the ^(A)land to mourn
And the ^(B)vegetation of the countryside to wither?
For the ^(C)wickedness of those who dwell in it,
^(D)Animals and birds have been snatched away,
Because men have said, “He will not see our latter ^(E)ending.”

¹¹ “^[a]It has been made a desolation,
Desolate, it ^(A)mourns ^[b]before Me;
The ^(B)whole land has been made desolate,
Because no man ^(C)lays it to heart.
