20Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;

open your ears to the words of his mouth.

Teach your daughters how to wail;

teach one another a lament.

20Now hear the word of the Lord, you women,

And let your ears receive the word of His mouth;

Teach your daughters wailing,

And have every woman teach her neighbor a song of mourning.

20Now hear the word of the Lord, O you women,

And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;

Teach your daughters wailing,

And everyone her neighbor a dirge.

20Now hear the word of the Lord, O you women,

And let your ear hear the word of His mouth;

Teach your daughters a song of mourning,

And each one [teach] her neighbor a dirge.

20Now, O women, hear the word of the Lord.

Open your ears to the word of His mouth.

Teach your daughters to wail,

and one another to lament.

20You women, hear the Lord’s message.

Listen to what he’s saying.

Teach your daughters how to mourn for the dead.

Teach one another a song of sadness.
