Luke 7:32
English Standard Version
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another,
“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
Jeremiah 9:17-20
English Standard Version
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(A)“Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;
send for the skillful women to come;
18 let them make haste (B)and raise a wailing over us,
(C)that our eyes may run down with tears
and our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
(D)‘How we are ruined!
We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a lament,
and each to her neighbor a dirge.
