Jeremiah 9:10
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “For the (A)mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing,
And for the pastures of the (B)wilderness a funeral lamentation,
Because they are (C)turned into ruin so that no one passes through,
And the lowing of the cattle is not heard;
Both the (D)birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.
Jeremiah 9:17-21
Legacy Standard Bible
17 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Carefully consider and call for the (A)mourning women, that they may come;
And send for the [a](B)skillful women, that they may come!
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us,
That our (C)eyes may shed tears
And our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a voice of (D)wailing is heard from Zion,
‘(E)How we are destroyed!
We are put to great shame,
For we have (F)left the land
Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Indeed, hear the word of Yahweh, O you (G)women,
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a funeral lamentation.
21 For (H)death has come up through our windows;
It has entered our palaces
To cut off the (I)infants from the streets,
The choice men from the open squares.

8 Because of this I must lament and wail;
I must go (A)barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the (B)jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.
