Jeremiah 9:20 Context
18And let them make haste, and take vp a wailing for vs, that our eyes may run down with teares, and our eyelids gush out with waters. 19For a voyce of wayling is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled? wee are greatly confounded, because wee haue forsaken the land, because our dwellings haue cast vs out. 20Yet heare the word of the Lord, O ye women, & let your eare receiue the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and euery one her neighbour lamentation. 21For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to cut off the children from without and the yong men from the streetes. 22Speake, Thus saith the Lord, Euen the carkeises of men shall fall as dung vpon the open field, and as the handfull after the haruest man, and none shall gather them.
