Jeremiah 9:17-19
International Standard Version
A Call to Lament
17 This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
“Think about what I’m saying![a]
Indeed, call out the professional mourners![b]
Send for the best of them to come.
18 Let them hurry and lament for us.
Let tears run down from our eyes,
and let our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a sound of mourning is heard from Zion:
‘How we’re ruined!
Our shame is very great,
because we have left the land,
because our houses are torn down.’”
