Jeremiah 9:17-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Consider and call for the (A)mourning women, that they may come;
And send for the [a](B)wailing 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 are we ruined!
We are put to great shame,
For we have (F)left the land,
Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Now hear the word of the Lord, O you (G)women,
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a dirge.

17 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Consider now! Call for the wailing women(A) to come;
send for the most skillful of them.
18 Let them come quickly
and wail over us
till our eyes overflow with tears
and water streams from our eyelids.(B)
19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How ruined(C) we are!
How great is our shame!
We must leave our land
because our houses are in ruins.’”
