Jeremiah 9:15-19

therefore this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood; and I will give them poisoned water to drink.

I will also scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them until I have put an end to them.”

This is what the Lord of armies says: “Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come; And send for the skillful women, that they may come!

“Have them hurry and take up a wailing for us, So that our eyes may shed tears, And our eyelids flow with water.

“For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! We are put to great shame, For we have abandoned the land Because they have torn down our homes.’ ”
