The Coming Destruction Calls For Mourning
9:10 I said,
“I will weep and mourn for the grasslands on the mountains,

because they are so scorched no one travels through them.
The sound of livestock is no longer heard there.
Even the birds in the sky and the wild animals in the fields
have fled and are gone.”

The temple mount will become a mere wooded ridge.”’
