Jeremiah 9:20-22

World English Bible

²⁰ Yet hear Yahweh’s word, you women.
    Let your ear receive the word of his mouth.
Teach your daughters wailing.
    Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
²¹ For death has come up into our windows.
    It has entered into our palaces
to cut off the children from outside,
    and the young men from the streets.

“‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field,
    and as the handful after the harvester.
    No one will gather them.’”
