Jeremiah 9:20

← Jeremiah 9:19	Jeremiah 9:20 (KJV)	Jeremiah 9:21 →
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out.	Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.	For death is come up into our windows, [and] is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, [and] the young men from the streets.
