17 Thus says Yahweh of hosts:

“Consider closely, and call for the wailing women, so that they come,
    and for the skillful women, so that they come.
18 And let them hasten,
    and let them lift up wailing over us,
so that our eyes may melt with tears,
    and our eyelids may flow with water.
19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion,
    ‘How we are devastated!
We are very ashamed because we have left the land,
    because they have overthrown our dwelling places.’
