The People Mourn in Judgment
“Consider and call for athe mourning women,
That they may come;
And send for skillful wailing women,
That they may come.
And take up a wailing for us,
That aour eyes may run with tears,
And our eyelids gush with water.
‘How we are plundered!
We are greatly ashamed,
Because we have forsaken the land,
Because we have been cast out of aour dwellings.’ ”
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
Has entered our palaces,
To kill off athe children— no longer to be outside!
And the young men—1 no longer on the streets!
‘Even the carcasses of men shall fall aas refuse on the open field,
Like cuttings after the harvester,
And no one shall gather them.’ ”
a“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his bmight,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
