- Lament:
- "Girdª° yourselves, and lament,ª° ye priests:ª howl,ª° ye ministersª° of the altar:ª come,ª° lie all nightª° in sackcloth,ª ye ministersª° of my God:ª for¹ the meat offeringª and the drink offeringª is withholdenª° from the houseª¹ of your God.ª ... Alasª for the day!ª for¹ the dayª of the LORDª [is] at hand,ª and as a destructionª from the Almightyª¹ shall it come.ª°" {Jol 1:13-15} + "Therefore also¹ now,¹ saithª° the LORD,ª turnª° ye [even] to¹ me with all¹ your heart,ª and with fasting,ª and with weeping,ª and with mourning:ª ... Who¹ knowethª° [if] he will returnª° and repent,ª° and leaveª° a blessingª behindª him; [even] a meat offeringª and a drink offeringª unto the LORDª your God?ª" {Jol 2:12-14} + "And in that¹ dayª did the Lordª GODª of hostsª callª° to weeping,ª and to mourning,ª and to baldness,ª and to girdingª° with sackcloth:ª" {Isa 22:12} + "The new wineª mourneth,ª° the vineª languisheth,ª° all¹ the merryheartedªª do sigh.ª° ... In the cityª is leftª° desolation,ª and the gateª is smittenª° with destruction.ª" {Isa 24:7-12} + "Tremble,ª° ye women that are at ease;ª be troubled,ª° ye careless ones:ª° stripª° you, and make you bare,ª° and girdª [sackcloth] upon¹ [your] loins.ª" {Isa 32:11} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª Considerª° ye, and callª° for the mourning women,ª° that they may come;ª° and sendª° for¹ cunningª [women], that they may come:ª° ... For¹ a voiceª of wailingª is heardª° out of Zion,ª¹ How¹ are we spoiled!ª° we are greatlyª confounded,ª° because¹ we have forsakenª° the land,ª because¹ our dwellingsª have cast [us] out.ª°" {Jer 9:17-19} + "Draw nighª° to God,ª andª he will draw nighª° to you.ª Cleanseª° [your] hands,ª [ye] sinners;ª andª purifyª° [your] hearts,ª [ye] double minded.ª ... Be afflicted,ª° andª mourn,ª° andª weep:ª° let yourª laughterª be turnedª° toª mourning,ª andª [your] joyª toª heaviness.ª" {Jms 4:8-9} + "Go toª° now,ª [ye] rich men,ª weepª° and howlª° forª yourª miseriesª that shall come uponª° [you]." {Jms 5:1}
