Jeremiah 9:20-22
New American Standard Bible
20 Now hear the word of the Lord, you (A)women,
And let your ears receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And have every woman teach her neighbor a song of mourning.
21 For (B)death has come up through our windows;
It has entered our palaces
To eliminate the (C)children from the streets,
The young men from the public squares.
22 Speak, “This is what the Lord says:
‘The corpses of people will fall (D)like dung on the open field,
And like the sheaf after the reaper,
But no one will gather them.’”

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.’”
