'Lamenting' in the Bible

to establish these days of Purim [to be observed] at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and as they had established for themselves and for their descendants with instructions regarding their times of fasting and their lamentations (expressions of needing help).

“But his body [lamenting its decay] grieves in pain over it,And his soul mourns over [the loss of] himself.”

It is decreed:Nineveh is stripped, and she is carried away,And her handmaids are moaning like the sound of doves,Beating on their breasts [in sorrow].
