Call for Lamentation and Mourning

Jeremiah 9:17-22

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:

'Have them hurry and wail for us, so our eyes will be wet from crying, and our eyelids gush with tears.'

For the sound of wailing is heard from Tziyon: 'We are utterly ruined, we are completely ashamed, because we have left the land, and our homes have been torn down!'"

You women, hear the word of ADONAI! Let your ears receive the words from his mouth. Teach your daughters how to wail, have each teach her friend how to lament:

"Death has come up through our windows, it has entered our palaces, it has cut down children in the streets and young people in the public places."

Say: "Here is what ADONAI says: 'The corpses of people are scattered like dung in an open field, like sheaves left behind by the reaper with no one to gather them.'"
