Jeremiah 9:10

World English Bible

I will weep and wail for the mountains,
and lament for the pastures of the wilderness,
because they are burned up, so that no one passes through;
Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock.
Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled.
They are gone.

Jeremiah 9:10 in context

  1. 8Their tongue is a deadly arrow.
    It speaks deceit.
    One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
    but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
  2. 9Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh.
    “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
  3. 10I will weep and wail for the mountains,
    and lament for the pastures of the wilderness,
    because they are burned up, so that no one passes through;
    Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock.
    Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled.
    They are gone.
  4. 11“I will make Jerusalem heaps,
    a dwelling place of jackals.
    I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
    without inhabitant.”
  5. 12Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
