'Mourning' in the Bible

Judah mourns;her gates languish.Her people are on the ground in mourning;Jerusalem’s cry rises up.

“For this is what the Lord says: Don’t enter a house where a mourning feast is taking place. Don’t go to lament or sympathize with them, for I have removed My peace from these people”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“as well as My faithful love and compassion.

Then the young woman will rejoice with dancing,while young and old men rejoice together.I will turn their mourning into joy,give them consolation,and bring happiness out of grief.

On all the rooftops of Moab and in her public squares, everyone is mourning because I have shattered Moab like a jar no one wants.” This is the Lord’s declaration.
