Jeremiah 9:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
Jeremiah is sad
10 ‘I will weep for the mountains.
I will cry for the fields in the wilderness.
There is no grass for the animals to eat.
Nobody travels through those places.
There is no sound of cows and sheep.
The birds and the wild animals have all disappeared.’
11 The Lord replied,
‘I will make Jerusalem a heap of stones.
Only wild animals will live there.
I will destroy the towns of Judah
so that nobody can live in them.’
12 I said,
‘Nobody is wise enough to understand this. The Lord has not told anyone, so that he can explain it to others. Why has our land become like a desert so that nobody travels through it? Does anyone know the answer?’

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?
