Jeremiah 9:17-22

17This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“Take noteH995, and summonH7121 the wailing womenH6969H935;sendH7971H935 forH413 the most skillfulH2450 among them.18Let them come quicklyH4116and take upH5375 a lamentH5092 over usH5921,that our eyesH5869 may overflowH3381 with tearsH1832,and our eyelidsH6079 may gushH5140 with waterH4325.19ForH3588 the soundH6963 of wailingH5092is heardH8085 from ZionH6726:‘HowH349 devastated we areH7703!How greatH3966 is our shameH954!ForH3588 we have abandonedH5800 the landH776becauseH3588 our dwellingsH4908 have been torn downH7993.’”
20NowH3588, O womenH802, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.OpenH3947 your earsH241 to the wordH1697 of His mouthH6310.TeachH3925 your daughtersH1323 to wailH5092,and oneH802 anotherH7468 to lamentH7015.21ForH3588 deathH4194 has climbed inH5927 through our windowsH2474;it has enteredH935 our fortressesH759to cut offH3772 the childrenH5768 from the streetsH2351,the young menH970 from the town squaresH7339.

22Declare thatH1696 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH5002:

“The corpsesH5038 of menH120 will fallH5307 like dungH1828uponH5921 the openH6440 fieldH7704,like newly cut grainH5995 behindH310 the reaperH7114,with noH369 one to gather itH622.”
