Jeremiah 9:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.

¹⁹ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.

²⁰ Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbour mourning.
