Jeremiah Chapter 9 verse 10 Holy Bible
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.

Give yourselves to weeping, crying out in sorrow for the mountains; and for the fields of the waste land send up a song of grief, because they are burned up, so that no one goes through; there is no sound of cattle; the bird of the heavens and the beast are in flight and are gone.

Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - This and the next six verses contain a description of the sad fate of the sinful land and people. At first the prophet speaks as if he saw it all spread out before him. Then, in the character of a surprised spectator, he inquires how this came to pass, and receives the Divine answer, that it is the doom of self-willed rebellion. The habitations should rather be pastures. The country, once covered with grazing flocks and herds, is now so utterly waste that even the birds cannot find subsistence.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) For the mountains . . .--The Hebrew preposition means both "upon" and "on account of," and probably both meanings were implied. The prophet sees himself upon the mountains, taking up the lamentation for them because they are "burned up."The habitations.--Better, as in the margin, pastures. The wilderness is simply the wild open country.So that none can pass . . . neither can men hear.--Better, with none to pass through them . . . neither do men hear.Both the fowl . . .--The Hebrew is more emphatic; from the fowl of the heavens to the beast . . . they are fled.
