Jeremiah 9:15-21

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

15therefore this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood; and I will give them poisoned water to drink. 16I will also scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them until I have put an end to them.”

17This is what the Lord of armies says:

“Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come;
And send for the skillful women, that they may come!
18“Have them hurry and take up a wailing for us,
So that our eyes may shed tears,
And our eyelids flow with water.
19“For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How devastated we are!
We are put to great shame,
For we have abandoned the land
Because they have torn down our homes.’ ”
20Now hear the word of the Lord, you women,
And let your ears receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And have every woman teach her neighbor a song of mourning.
21For death has come up through our windows;
It has entered our palaces
To eliminate the children from the streets,
The young men from the public squares.
