Make thy moan as a virgin doth that girdeth herself with sack, because of her bridegroom.

And at the same time shall the LORD of Hosts call men to weeping, mourning, to baldness and a putting on of sackcloth.

forsaketh the husband of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

The sweet wine shall mourn, the grapes shall be weak, and all that have been merry in heart, shall sigh.

O ye rich idle cities, ye that fear no peril: ye shall be abashed and removed, when ye see the bareness, the nakedness, and preparing to war.

Else wouldst thou say unto me, 'O my father, thou art he that hast brought me up, and led me from my youth:

Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts, "Look that ye call for mourning wives, and send for wise women: that they come shortly,

Gird you, and make your moan, O ye priests: mourn ye ministers of the alter: go your way in, and sleep in sackcloth, O ye officers of my God: for the meat and drink offering shall be taken away from the house of your God.

And now therefore saith the LORD: Turn to me with all your hearts, in fasting and lamentation.

Your high feasts will I turn to sorrow, and your songs to mourning: I will bring sackcloth upon all backs, and baldness on every head. Yea, such a mourning will I send them, as is made upon an only begotten son, and they shall have a miserable end.

So did not the one, and yet had he an excellent spirit. What did then the one? He sought the seed promised of God. Therefore look well to your spirit, and let no man despise the wife of his youth.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purge your hearts ye wavering minded.

Go to now, ye rich men. Weep, and howl on your wretchedness that shall come upon you.
