Part 14: Bible Study Jeremiah 9:17: "Call for the wailing women to come"

Rev. Belinda Colindres of the Christian Lutheran Church of Honduras(ICLH) analyzes the text of Jeremiah 9, 17 that refers to the women "who had the duty of mourning", that is, those who were called mourners, or simply, weepers. These women were paid to mourn at funerals. In her analysis, the pastor not only details the role of these women, but also gives an update, inviting us to think about what makes women "cry" today, detailing, among other things, the violence and suffering to which they are subjected in times of isolation and pandemics.
