Jeremiah 9:15-17

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁵⁽¹⁶⁾I will scatter them among nations
that neither they nor their ancestors have known.
I will send the sword after them
until I have wiped them out.”

¹⁶⁽¹⁷⁾Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot:

“Mark this, then summon the mourning women,
so that they will come;
send for those who are best [at mourning],
so that they will come:
¹⁷⁽¹⁸⁾‘Have them hurry and wail for us,
so our eyes will be wet from crying,
and our eyelids gush with tears.’
