Jeremiah 9:17-21
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning[ women], that they may come:And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast[ us] out.Yet 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 her neighbour lamentation.For death is come up into our windows,[ and] is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without,[ and] the young men from the streets.
