Jeremiah 9:19
A Lament over Zion
18Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water. 19For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! How great is our shame! For we have abandoned the land because our dwellings have been torn down.’”
