Jeremiah 9:18 in Context — Jeremiah 9

16 E os espalharei entre nações que nem eles, nem seus pais conheceram; e mandarei espada atrás deles, até que eu os acabe.

17 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Considerai, e chamai carpideiras, que venham; e enviai as mais hábeis, que venham:

18 E se apressem, e levantem pranto sobre nós, e desfaçam-se nossos olhos em lágrimas, e nossas pálpebras se destilem em águas.

19 Porque uma voz de pranto foi ouvida de Sião: Como fomos destruídos! Nós nos tornamos muito envergonhados, por termos deixado a terra, por nossas moradas terem sido arruinadas.

20 Ouvi pois, vós mulheres, a palavra do SENHOR, e vossos ouvidos recebam a palavra de sua boca; e ensinai pranto a vossas filhas, e cada uma lamentação a sua companheira.
