20 ‘Now hear the Lord's message, you women.
    Listen to what he says to you.
Teach your daughters how to weep.
    Teach each other this funeral song:
21 “Death has come to visit us!
    It has come into our strong houses.
Death has taken away our children
    who play in the streets.
It has taken away our young men
    who meet together in the streets.”

22 The Lord says this:

Dead bodies of people will lie everywhere on the ground.
They will lie there like dung
    that a farmer puts on his fields.
They will lie there like crops at harvest time
    that nobody has picked up.’
