Jeremiah 9:17-22

17Thus saith the LORD of hosts, ConsiderH5375 ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may comeH3381; and send for the cunning women, that they may comeH3381:

18and let them makeH8085 haste, and take upH4908 a wailingH5092 for usH3588, that our eyes may run downH7993 with tears, and our eyelids gush outH7993 with waters.

19For a voice of wailingH5092 is heardH8085 out of Zion, HowH3588 are weH3588 spoiled! weH3588 are greatly confounded, becauseH3588 weH3588 have forsaken the land, becauseH3588 they have cast downH3588 our dwellings.

20Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one herH3772 neighbour lamentation.

21For deathH5038 is comeH5307 upH5921 intoH5921 our windows, it is entered intoH5921 our palaces; to cut offH5921 the children from withoutH369, and the young menH120 from the streets.

22SpeakH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, The carcases of menH1368 shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and noneH408 shall gather them.
