Jeremiah 9:10-12
New Life Version
Jeremiah 9:10-12
New Life Version
10 “I will cry with a loud voice for the mountains. I will cry out in sorrow for the fields, because they are laid waste. No one passes through them. The sound of the cattle is not heard. The birds of the sky and the wild animals have run away. They are gone. 11 I will break down Jerusalem into pieces, a place where wild dogs live. And I will lay waste the cities of Judah. No people will live there.”
12 Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may make it known? Why is the land destroyed and laid waste like a 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?
