Jeremiah 9:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;
    send for the skilled women to come;
¹⁸ let them quickly raise a dirge over us,
    so that our eyes may run down with tears,
    and our eyelids flow with water.
¹⁹ For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
    “How we are ruined!
    We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
    because they have cast down our dwellings.”
