My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: / And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
