Jeremiah 9:10-12 Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate from a lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle. They were amazed, they are gone.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate from a lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle. They were amazed, they are gone. ¹¹ And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Judah, so that they shall not be inhabited. ¹² Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? And he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord addressed to him, let him tell you why the land has been destroyed, and has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it.
