Jeremiah 9:18

Judah's Failures

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come;
And send for the wailing women, that they may come!
¹⁸ “Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us,
That our eyes may shed tears
And our eyelids flow with water.
¹⁹ “For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion,
‘How are we ruined!
We are put to great shame,
For we have left the land,
Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

When little ones and infants faint
In the streets of the city.
