Jeremiah 9:19-21

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ Now, women of Judah, listen to the word of the Lord.
    Open your ears to hear the words of his mouth.
Teach your daughters how to cry loudly.
    Teach one another a funeral song!
²¹ Death has climbed in through our windows.
    It has entered our strong cities.
Death has taken away our children who play in the streets.
    It has taken the young men who meet in the city squares.
