James 4:9

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
