Jeremiah 9:9-11
Christian Standard Bible
9 Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself(A)
on such a nation as this?
10 I will raise weeping and a lament
over the mountains,
a dirge over the wilderness grazing land,
for they have been so scorched
that no one passes through.
The sound of cattle is no longer heard.
From the birds of the sky to the animals,(B)
everything has fled—they have gone away.
11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble,(C)
a jackals’ den.(D)
I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
an uninhabited place.
