Jeremiah 9:10-12
American Standard Version
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the birds of the heavens and the beasts are fled, they are gone. 11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant. 12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that he may declare it? wherefore is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?

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?
