Jeremiah 9:17-20

Leeser(i) 17 (9:16) Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Consider it well, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the women skilled in lament, that they may come; 18 (9:17) And let them make haste, and take up for us a lamentation, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids drop down water. 19 (9:18) For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we wasted! we are greatly ashamed; because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings. 20 (9:19) For hear, O ye women, the word of the Lord, and let your ear perceive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
