Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

BrTr (JER 9:9) Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for want of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone.


ULT For the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation,
 ⇔ because they are burned up so that, there is not a man passing through, and they do not hear the sound of cattle,
 ⇔ from the bird of the heavens and to the beast they have fled; they are gone.

UST So, I will weep and wail for the mountains and lament for the places where the livestock eat the grass,
 ⇔ because those areas will be scorched so that no one will travel through them.
 ⇔ There will be no cattle there,
 ⇔ and all the birds and wild animals will have fled to other places.

BSB & MSB I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains,
 ⇔ a dirge over the wilderness pasture,
 ⇔ for they have been scorched so no one passes through,
 ⇔ and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
 ⇔ Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled;
 ⇔ they have gone away.

 ⇔ Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock.
 ⇔ Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled.

NET I said,
 ⇔ “I will weep and mourn for the grasslands on the mountains,
 ⇔ I will sing a mournful song for the pastures in the wilderness
 ⇔ 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.”

LSV I lift up weeping and wailing for the mountains,
And a lamentation for the habitations of the wilderness,
For they have been burned up without any passing over,
Nor have they heard the voice of livestock,
From the bird of the heavens and to the beast—they have fled,
They have gone.

FBV I will weep and wail for the mountains, I will sing a funeral song over the pastures in the countryside, because they have been so badly burned that no one can pass through, and there are no cattle to make any noise. The birds have flown and the wild animals have run away.

T4T  ⇔ So, I will weep and wail for the people who live in the mountains and in the ◄pastures/places where the livestock eat the grass►,
