Jeremiah 9:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.

¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:

¹⁸ Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
