8:10 I will turn your festivals into funerals,
and all your songs into funeral dirges.
I will make everyone wear funeral clothes
and cause every head to be shaved bald.
I will make you mourn as if you had lost your only son;
when it ends it will indeed have been a bitter day.
15:2 They went up to the temple,
the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament.
Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba,
Every head is shaved bare,
every beard is trimmed off.
15:3 In their streets they wear sackcloth;
on their roofs and in their town squares
all of them wail,
they fall down weeping.
15:4 The people of
their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.
For this reason Moab’s soldiers shout in distress;
their courage wavers.
15:5 My heart cries out because of Moab’s plight,
and for the fugitives
For they weep as they make their way up the ascent of Luhith;
they loudly lament their demise on the road to Horonaim.
15:8 Indeed, the cries of distress echo throughout Moabite territory;
their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim.
22:12 At that time the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, called for weeping and mourning,
for shaved heads and sackcloth.
4:31 In fact,
a cry of anguish like that of a woman giving birth to her first baby.
It is the cry of Daughter Zion
reaching out for help,
My life is ebbing away before these murderers!”
9:10 I said,
“I will weep and mourn
I will sing a mournful song for the pastures in the wilderness
because they are so scorched no one travels through them.
The sound of livestock is no longer heard there.
Even the birds in the sky and the wild animals in the fields
have fled and are gone.”
9:18 I said, “Indeed,
Let them wail loudly until tears stream from our own eyes
and our eyelids overflow with water.
9:19 For the sound of wailing is soon to be heard in Zion.
They will wail,
For our houses have been torn down
and we must leave our land.’”
9:20 I said,
“So now,
Open your ears to the words from his mouth.
Teach your daughters this mournful song,
and each of you teach your neighbor
1:8 Wail
lamenting the death of
1:11 Be distressed,
wail, vinedressers, over the wheat and the barley.
For the harvest of the field has perished.
1:14 Announce a holy fast;
proclaim a sacred assembly.
Gather the elders and
to the temple of the Lord your God,
and cry out to the Lord.
1:8 For this reason I
I will walk around barefoot
I will howl
and screech
2:4 In that day people will sing this taunt song to you –
they will mock you with this lament:
‘We are completely destroyed;
they sell off
How they remove it from me!
They assign our fields to the conqueror.’
“Woe, woe, O great city,
Babylon the powerful city!
For in a single hour your doom
18:15 The merchants who sold
“Woe, woe, O great city –
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing,
and adorned with gold,
“Woe, Woe, O great city –
in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth –
because in a single hour she has been destroyed!”
