,
cskillful women, that they may come!18 “Have them hurry and take up a wailing for us,
So that our deyes may shed tears,
And our eyelids flow with water.
19 “For a voice of ewailing is heard from Zion:
‘ fHow devastated we are!
We are put to great shame,
For we have gabandoned the land
Because they have torn down our homes.’”

And let your ears receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And have every woman teach her neighbor a song of mourning.
