And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

The verse 18 is found in chapter 9 of Jeremiah. The explanation of the disaster is directly connected to abandoning Yahweh’s law and following the Baals. True wisdom does not consist in wealth, power, or abstract knowledge, but in understanding that God practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness. The mourning women summoned demonstrate the social and public dimension of grief.

daß man ein klägliches Geschrei höre zu Zion: Ach, wie sind wir so gar verstört und zu Schanden geworden! Wir müssen das Land räumen; denn sie haben unsere Wohnungen geschleift.
Y dense prisa, y levanten llanto sobre nosotros, y córranse nuestros ojos en lágrimas, y nuestros párpados en aguas se destilen.
Que se apresuren y eleven un lamento por nosotros, para que nuestros ojos derramen lágrimas y nuestros párpados destilen agua.
Qu'elles se hâtent de dire sur nous une complainte! Et que les larmes tombent de nos yeux, Que l'eau coule de nos paupières!
e struggansi i nostri occhi in lagrime, e le nostre palpebre stillino acqua;
E se apressem, e levantem o seu lamento sobre nós; e desfaçam-se em lágrimas os nossos olhos, e as nossas pálpebras destilem águas.
叫她們速速為我們舉哀, 使我們淚眼汪汪, 使我們的眼皮湧出淚水。
