Jeremiah 9:17-20

17This is what the Lord of armies says: “Consider and call for the 1mourning women, that they may come; And send for the 23skillful women, that they may come!18Have them hurry and take up a wailing for us, So that our 4eyes may shed tears, And our eyelids flow with water.19For a voice of 5wailing is heard from Zion: ‘6How devastated we are! We are put to great shame, For we have 7abandoned the land Because they have torn down our homes.’”20Now hear the word of the Lord, you 8women, 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.
