Jeremiah 9:18

Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.

I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”

The LORD of Armies says,

“Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come.

Send for the skillful women, that they may come.

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion,

‘How we are ruined!

We are greatly confounded

because we have forsaken the land,

because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women.

Let your ear receive the word of his mouth.

Teach your daughters wailing.

Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.

For death has come up into our windows.

It has entered into our palaces

to cut off the children from outside,

and the young men from the streets.
