Scriptures

¹⁶ Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

¹⁶ Therefore, this is what the Lord, the LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, says: “There will be crying in all the public squares and mourning in every street. Call for the farmers to weep with you, and summon professional mourners to wail.

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, "There is wailing in all the plazas, And in all the streets they say, ’Alas! Alas!’ They also call the farmer to mourning And professional mourners to lamentation.

¹⁶ Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this: "There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, ’Alas! Alas!’ They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.
