Lamentations 5:15

A Request For Mercy

¹⁴ The old men are no longer seated in the doorway, and the music of the young men has come to an end. ¹⁵ The joy of our hearts is ended; our dancing is changed into sorrow. ¹⁶ The crown has been taken from our head: sorrow is ours, for we are sinners.

No

Amos 8:10

Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

Jeremiah 25:10

And more than this, I will take from them the sound of laughing voices, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the stones crushing the grain, and the shining of lights.

Amos 6:4-7

Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;

James 4:9-10

Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.
