Jeremiah 9:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How we are ruined!
We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
because they have cast down our dwellings.’
20 Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ears receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a dirge,
and each to her neighbour a lament.
21 ‘Death has come up into our windows,
it has entered our palaces,
to cut off the children from the streets
and the young men from the squares.’
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.
