Read Jeremiah 9 in full →17Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Carefully consider and call for the amourning women, that they may come;And send for the 1,bskillful women, that they may come!
18“Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us,That our aeyes may shed tearsAnd our eyelids flow with water.19“For a voice of awailing is heard from Zion,‘bHow we are destroyed!We are put to great shame,For we have cleft the landBecause they have cast down our dwellings.’”20Indeed, hear the word of Yahweh, O you awomen,And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;Teach your daughters wailing,And everyone her neighbor a funeral lamentation.
