Jeremiah 9:18-20

Good News Translation

“Tell them to hurry and sing a funeral song for us,
    until our eyes fill with tears,
    and our eyelids are wet from crying.”

“We are ruined!
    We are completely disgraced!
We must leave our land;
    our homes have been torn down.”

“Listen to the Lord, you women,
    and pay attention to his words.
Teach your daughters how to mourn,
    and your friends how to sing a funeral song.
