Jeremiah 9:20-21

Jeremiah Grieves for His People

20 Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a lament,
and each to her neighbor a dirge.
 21 For death has come up into our windows;
it has entered our palaces,
v cutting off the children from the streets
and the young men from the squares.
