Jeremiah 9:9-11
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord;
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?
10 “Take up[a] weeping and wailing for the mountains,
and a lamentation for the pastures of the wilderness,
because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,
and the lowing of cattle is not heard;
both the birds of the air and the beasts
have fled and are gone.
11 I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
a lair of jackals;
and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
without inhabitant.”
