don’t weep at all.
Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.

and the daughters of the uncircumcised will gloat.

My dear people, dress yourselves in sackcloth
and roll in the dust.
Mourn as you would for an only son,
a bitter lament,
for suddenly the destroyer will come on us.

Amos 5:13

Therefore, the wise person will keep silent
at such a time,
for the days are evil.

A close relative and burner will remove his corpse from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, “Any more with you?”

That person will reply, “None.”

Then he will say, “Silence, because Yahweh’s name must not be invoked.”
