Jeremiah 9:17-22

17This is what the LORD of Hosts says:

“Take note, and summon the wailing women;send for the most skillful among them.18Let them come quicklyand take up a lament over us,that our eyes may overflow with tears,and our eyelids may gush with water.19For the sound of wailingis heard from Zion:‘How devastated we are!How great is our shame!For we have abandoned the landbecause our dwellings have been torn down.’”
20Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD.Open your ears to the word of His mouth.Teach your daughters to wail,and one another to lament.21For death has climbed in through our windows;it has entered our fortressesto cut off the children from the streets,the young men from the town squares.

22Declare that this is what the LORD says:

“The corpses of men will fall like dungupon the open field,like newly cut grain behind the reaper,with no one to gather it.”
