Jeremiah 9:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ Hurry!
Let them weep for us
    so that our eyes fill up with tears
        and water streams down.
¹⁹ The sound of sobbing
    is heard from Zion:
    “We’re devastated!
    We’re so ashamed!
    We have to leave the land
        and abandon our homes!”
²⁰ Women, hear the Lord’s word.
    Listen closely to the word
    from his mouth:
        teach your daughters to mourn;
        teach each other to grieve.
