Jeremiah 9:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbour mourning.

²¹ For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.

²² Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
