Isaiah 22:4
4Therefore I said:“Look away from me;
alet me weep bitter tears;
do not labor to comfort me
concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
Jeremiah 4:19
Anguish over Judah’s Desolation
19 bMy anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
Jeremiah 9:17-21
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:c“Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;
send for the skillful women to come;
18let them make haste dand raise a wailing over us,
ethat our eyes may run down with tears
and our eyelids flow with water.
19For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
f‘How we are ruined!
We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a lament,
and each to her neighbor a dirge.
21For death has come up into our windows;
it has entered our palaces,
gcutting off the children from the streets
and the young men from the squares.
