Jeremiah 9:17-20 NIV

[17] This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skillful of them. [18] Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our eyelids. [19] The sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How ruined we are! How great is our shame! We must leave our land because our houses are in ruins.’ ” [20] Now, you women, hear the word of the LORD; open your ears to the words of his mouth. Teach your daughters how to wail; teach one another a lament.
