17 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Carefully consider and call for the amourning women, that they may come;
And send for the bskillful women, that they may come!
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us,
That our aeyes may shed tears
And our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a voice of awailing is heard from Zion,
‘bHow we are destroyed!
We are put to great shame,
For we have cleft the land
Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
