Jeremiah 9:17-20

New International Version

¹⁷This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Consider now! Call for the wailing women^(A) to come;
    send for the most skillful of them.
¹⁸Let them come quickly
    and wail over us
till our eyes overflow with tears
    and water streams from our eyelids.^(B)
¹⁹The 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.’”

²⁰Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;
open your ears to the words of his mouth.^(D)
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.^(E)
