Our dance

You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,

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

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