Jeremiah 9:19-21
21st Century King James Version
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion: ‘How are we despoiled! We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.’”
20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of His mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

Jeremiah 9:19-21
New International Version
19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How ruined(A) we are!
How great is our shame!
We must leave our land
because our houses are in ruins.’”
20 Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;
open your ears to the words of his mouth.(B)
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.(C)
21 Death has climbed in through our windows(D)
and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
and the young men(E) from the public squares.
