Jer 9:19 | NET2full | STEP | For the sound of wailing is soon to be heard in Zion , ‘We are utterly ruined ! We are completely disgraced ! For we have left our land , for our houses have been torn down! ’”

‏ Jeremiah 9:19

19 For the sound of wailing is soon to be heard in Zion,
‘We are utterly ruined! ^{▼▼tn Heb “How we are ruined!”} We are completely disgraced!
For we have left our land,
for our houses have been torn down!’” ^{▼▼tn Or “For we have left…because they have thrown down….” These probably offer parallel reasons for the cries, “We are utterly ruined…disgraced!” since the reason for leaving is not simply the destruction of their houses.}
