With a

“Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing;
And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

Yet

‘Speak to the house of Israel, “Thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I am about to profane My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes and the delight of your soul; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.

And fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

Do not weep for the dead or mourn for him,

But weep continually for the one who goes away;
For he will never return
Or see his native land.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

Thy tears

Oh that my head were waters

And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the daughter of my people!

But if you will not listen to it,
My soul will sob in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will bitterly weep
And flow down with tears,
Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.

Their heart cried out to the Lord,
“O wall of the daughter of Zion,
Let your tears run down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief,
Let your eyes have no rest.
