Jeremiah 9:17-20

17 Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Consider and call for the ^amourning women, that they may come;
And send for the ^{▼▼ Lit skilled
,} ^cwailing women, that they may come!
18 “Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us,
That our ^deyes may shed tears
And our eyelids flow with water.
19 “For a voice of ^ewailing is heard from Zion,
‘ ^fHow are we ruined!
We are put to great shame,
For we have ^gleft the land,
Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Now hear the word of the Lord, O you ^hwomen,
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a dirge.
