Jeremiah 9:17-19

Good News Translation

“Think about what is happening!
Call for the mourners to come,
    for the women who sing funeral songs.”

“Tell them to hurry and sing a funeral song for us,
    until our eyes fill with tears,
    and our eyelids are wet from crying.”

“We are ruined!
    We are completely disgraced!
We must leave our land;
    our homes have been torn down.”
