9Jeremiah 9:19

17Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:Select Jeremiah 9:17

18And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.Select Jeremiah 9:18

19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.Select Jeremiah 9:19

20Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.Select Jeremiah 9:20

21For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.Select Jeremiah 9:21
