Jeremiah 9:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Let them come quickly
    and cry loudly for us.
Then our eyes will fill with tears.
    And streams of water will come out of our eyes.
¹⁹ The sound of loud crying is heard from Jerusalem:
    ‘We are truly ruined!
    We are truly ashamed!
We must leave our land,
    because our houses are in ruins.’”
