Jeremiah 9:20-22
International Children’s Bible
20 Now, women of Judah, listen to the word of the Lord.
Open your ears to hear the words of his mouth.
Teach your daughters how to cry loudly.
Teach one another a funeral song!
21 Death has climbed in through our windows.
It has entered our strong cities.
Death has taken away our children who play in the streets.
It has taken the young men who meet in the city squares.
22 Say, “This is what the Lord says:
‘The dead bodies of men will lie
in the open field like dung.
They will lie on the ground like grain a farmer has cut.
But there will be no one to gather them.’”

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.’”
