¹⁷ This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come;
send for the most skillful of them.
¹⁸ Let them come quickly
and wail over us
till our eyes overflow with tears
and water streams from our eyelids.
¹⁹ The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How ruined 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.
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.
²¹ Death has climbed in through our windows
and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
and the young men from the public squares.
