Jeremiah 9:18
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.
In context
16 I will scatter them among the nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.”
17 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Take note, and summon the wailing women; send for the most skillful among them.
18 Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.
19 For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! How great is our shame! For we have abandoned the land because our dwellings have been torn down.’”
20 Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.
