  2. Explication du texte

Why must the wailing women teach their daughters to lament and each their neighbour a dirge?

Jérémie 9:20 (NEG79)

20 Femmes, écoutez la parole de l'Eternel, Et que votre oreille saisisse ce que dit sa bouche! Apprenez à vos filles des chants lugubres, Enseignez-vous des complaintes les unes aux autres!

In Jeremiah’s lament the Lord now gives instruction to the mourning women. They must teach their daughters a lament and each to her neighbour a dirge. So great is the destruction that is coming that many mourners will be needed. The whole nation will be caught up in this tragedy.
