Jeremiah 9:17-19

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Consider, and summon the women who mourn;^(A)
send for the skilful women.
¹⁸ Let them come quickly to raise a lament over us
so that our eyes may overflow with tears,
our eyelids be soaked with weeping.
¹⁹ For a sound of lamentation is heard from Zion:
How devastated we are.
We are greatly ashamed,^(B)
for we have abandoned the land;
our dwellings have been torn down.
