'Dirge' in the Bible

“For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing,And for the pastures of the wilderness a dirge,Because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,And the lowing of the cattle is not heard;Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

Now hear the word of the Lord, O you women,And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;Teach your daughters wailing,And everyone her neighbor a dirge.

Hear this word which I take up for you as a dirge, O house of Israel:

and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
