Context
15Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink. 16I will scatter them among the nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.” 17This is what the LORD of Hosts says:
“Take note, and summon the wailing women;
send for the most skillful among them. 18Let them come quickly
and take up a lament over us,
that our eyes may overflow with tears,
and our eyelids may gush with water. 19For the sound of wailing
is heard from Zion:
‘How devastated we are!
How great is our shame!
For we have abandoned the land
because our dwellings have been torn down.’”
