17ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “ConsiderH995 and callH7121 for the 1mourningH6969 womenH6969, that they may comeH935; And sendH7971 for the 23skillfulH2450 womenH2450, that they may comeH935!18Have them hurryH4116 and takeH5375 upH5375 a wailingH5092 for us, So that our 4eyesH5869 may shedH3381 tearsH1832, And our eyelidsH6079 flowH5140 with waterH4325.19For a voiceH6963 of 5wailingH5092 is heardH8085 from ZionH6726: ‘6HowH349 devastatedH7703 we are! We are putH954 toH954 greatH3966 shameH954, For we have 7abandonedH5800 the landH776 BecauseH3588 they have tornH7993 downH7993 our homesH4908.’”20NowH3588 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, you 8womenH802, And let your earsH241 receiveH3947 the wordH1697 of His mouthH6310; TeachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, And have every womanH802 teach her neighborH7468 a songH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015.21For 9deathH4194 has comeH5927 upH5927 through our windowsH2474; It has enteredH935 our palacesH759 To eliminateH3772 the 10childrenH5768 from the streetsH2351, The youngH970 menH970 from the publicH7339 squaresH7339.22SpeakH1696, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH5002: ‘The corpsesH5038 of peopleH120 will fallH5307 11like dungH1828 on the openH6440 fieldH7704, And like the sheafH5995 afterH4480H310 the reaperH7114, But noH369 oneH369 will gatherH622 them.’”
