9:17 The Lord who rules over all 1 told me to say to this people, 2
“Take note of what I say. 3
Call for the women who mourn for the dead!
Summon those who are the most skilled at it!” 4
9:20 I said, 5
“So now, 6 you wailing women, hear what the Lord says. 7
Open your ears to the words from his mouth.
Teach your daughters this mournful song,
and each of you teach your neighbor 8 this lament.
