Job 30:31

But my harp is in mourning; my flute plays only songs for those who are weeping."

The joy of our hearts has ceased, and our dancing has turned into dirges.

There we sat down and cried by the rivers of Babylon as we remembered Zion.

a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

And as for my heart, horror has terrified me; the twilight I longed for has started to make me tremble.

On that day the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies called for weeping and mourning, for shaving heads and wearing sackcloth.

The new wine evaporates; the vine and the oil dry up; all the merrymakers groan.

Then the king retired to his palace to spend the night fasting. He enjoyed no entertainment, and he couldn't sleep.
