Jeremiah 9:18-20

Modern English Version

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.”
