← Jeremiah 9:9	Jeremiah 9:10 (KJV)	Jeremiah 9:11 →
Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?	For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.	And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
