- "And it came to pass,¹ when the angelª of the LORDª spakeª°¹ these¹ wordsª unto¹ all¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª that the peopleª lifted upª°¹ their voice,ª and wept.ª°" {Jdg 2:4} + "Only¹ acknowledgeª° thine iniquity,ª that¹ thou hast transgressedª° against the LORDª thy God,ª and hast scatteredª°¹ thy waysª to the strangersª° under¹ every¹ greenª tree,ª and ye have not¹ obeyedª° my voice,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 3:13} + "Return,ª° ye backslidingª children,ª [and] I will healª° your backslidings.ª Behold,¹ we comeª° unto thee; for¹ thou¹ [art] the LORDª our God.ª ... We lie downª° in our shame,ª and our confusionª coverethª° us: for¹ we have sinnedª° against the LORDª our God,ª we¹ and our fathers,ª from our youthª¹ even unto¹ this¹ day,ª and have not¹ obeyedª° the voiceª of the LORDª our God.ª" {Jer 3:22-25} + "They shall comeª° with weeping,ª and with supplicationsª will I leadª° them: I will cause them to walk²°¹ by¹ the riversª of watersª in a straightª way,ª wherein they shall not¹ stumble:ª° for¹ I am¹ a fatherª to Israel,ª and Ephraimª [is] my firstborn.ª" {Jer 31:9} + "And I will pourª° upon¹ the houseª of David,ª and upon¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem,ª the spiritª of graceª and of supplications:ª and they shall lookª° upon¹ me¹ whom¹ they have pierced,ª° and they shall mourn²¹ for¹ him, as one mourneth²°¹ for¹ [his] onlyª [son], and shall be in bitternessª° for¹ him, as one that is in bitternessª° for¹ [his] firstborn.ª ... In that¹ dayª shall there be a greatª° mourningª in Jerusalem,ª as the mourningª of Hadadrimmonª in the valleyª of Megiddon.ª" {Zch 12:10-11} + "Blessedª [are] they that mourn:ª° forª theyª shall be comforted.ª°" {Mtt 5:4} + "Forª godlyªª sorrowª workethª° repentanceª toª salvationª not to be repented of:ª butª the¹ sorrowª of the¹ worldª workethª° death.ª ... Forª beholdª° thisª selfsame thing,ª that² ye¹ sorrowedª° after² a godly sort,ª¹ whatª carefulnessª it wroughtª° in you,ª yea,ª [what] clearing of yourselves,ª yea,ª [what] indignation,ª yea,ª [what] fear,ª yea,ª [what] vehement desire,ª yea,ª [what] zeal,ª yea,ª [what] revenge!ª Inª allª [things] ye have approvedª° yourselvesª to beª° clearª inª this matter.ª" {2Co 7:10-11}
