Jeremiah 9:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.

²⁰ Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbour mourning.

²¹ For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
