Jeremiah 9:17-19

Modern English Version

Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come;
    and send for wailing women, that they may come.
¹⁸ 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.
¹⁹ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion,
    “How devastated we are!
    We are greatly humiliated,
because we have forsaken the land,
    because our dwellings have cast us out.”
