Jeremiah 9:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 Listen to the word of the Lord, you women.
Pay attention to the word from his mouth.
Teach your daughters how to sob.
Each of you should teach her neighbor a lament.
21 Death has climbed in through a window
and entered our citadels.
It has taken away the children from the streets
and the young men from the city squares.
22 This is what the Lord says.
Dead bodies will fall
like manure on the ground,
like freshly cut grain after the reaper,
with no one to gather it.
Jeremiah 9:20-22
New International Version
20 Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;
open your ears to the words of his mouth.(A)
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.(B)
21 Death has climbed in through our windows(C)
and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
and the young men(D) from the public squares.
22 Say, “This is what the Lord declares:
“‘Dead bodies will lie
like dung(E) on the open field,
like cut grain behind the reaper,
with no one to gather them.’”
