Jeremiah 9:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸let them quickly raise a dirge over us,
    so that our eyes may run down with tears,
    and our eyelids flow with water.
¹⁹For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
    ‘How we are ruined!
    We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
    because they have cast down our dwellings.’

²⁰Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ears receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a dirge,
and each to her neighbour a lament.
