כִּֽי־שְׁמַ֤עְנָה נָשִׁים֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה וְתִקַּ֥ח אָזְנְכֶ֖ם דְּבַר־פִּ֑יו וְלַמֵּ֤דְנָה בְנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ נֶ֔הִי וְאִשָּׁ֥ה רְעוּתָ֖הּ קִינָֽה׃
Sungguh, dengarlah firman Yang Mahakekal, hai kaum perempuan, dan biarlah telingamu menerima firman dari mulut-Nya. Ajarkanlah ratapan kepada anak-anak perempuanmu, dan setiap perempuan kepada sesamanya nyanyian ratapan.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Hear, O women” [9:19]. The women should hear the words of God that they should lament. They should lament, since the women have very soft hearts. They cry quickly and will easily make all the people cry. Therefore, you women should teach your daughters that they should know how to cry and lament when the angel of death appears in our windows. He has come into our fortress to kill the children on the inside and the young men in the streets.
