Jeremiah 9:18
Berean Standard Bible
Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.
Context
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.’” 20Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD.
Open your ears to the word of His mouth.
Teach your daughters to wail,
and one another to lament.
