Our dancing has been turned into mourning.

And all your songs into lamentation;

And baldness on every head.
And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,

And sprawl on their couches,
And eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,
