Lamentations 5:15

Joy has left our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning.

Amos 8:10

I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into lamentation;
I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth
and every head to be shaved.
I will make that grief
like mourning for an only son
and its outcome like a bitter day.

Psalm 30:11

You turned my lament into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,

Jeremiah 25:10

I will eliminate the sound of joy and gladness from them—the voice of the groom and the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

Amos 6:4-7

They lie on beds inlaid with ivory,
sprawled out on their couches,
and dine on lambs from the flock
and calves from the stall.

James 4:9-10

Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.
