NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ »Jehovah of Hosts says: ‘Consider the mourning women that they may come. Send for the wailing women that they may come! ¹⁸ Let them hurry and take up a wailing for us. Let our eyes shed tears and our eyelids flow with water. ¹⁹ A voice of wailing is heard from Zion: »How we are ruined! We are put to great shame for we have left the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.« ²⁰ Listen to the word of Jehovah, you women, and open your ears to hear his words. Teach your daughters how to cry. Teach your neighbors funeral songs.
