Wailing Heard in Zion
Jeremiah 9: 17-24
Jer 9:17 Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider, and call for the mourning women to come; send for the skillful women to come;
Jer 9:18 let them make haste and raise a wailing over us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids flow with water.
Jer 9:19 For 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.’”
Jer 9:20 Hear, O women, the word of the LORD, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; teach to your daughters a lament, and each to her neighbor a dirge.
Jer 9:21 For death has come up into our windows; it has entered our palaces, cutting off the children from the streets and the young men from the squares.
Jer 9:22 Speak: “Thus declares the LORD, ‘The dead bodies of men shall fall like dung upon the open field, like sheaves after the reaper, and none shall gather them.’”
Jer 9:23 Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches,
Jer 9:24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”
