wail

Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

And they took courage and went in and saw that which was done: and the panels of the temple did wail: and they rent their clothes from the top to the bottom. And his body they found not, but his blood they found turned into stone. And they feared, and went forth and told all the people that Zacharias was slain. And all the tribes of the people heard it, and they mourned for him and lamented him three days and three nights. And after the three days the priests took counsel whom they should set in his stead: and the lot came up upon Symeon. Now he it was which, was warned by the Holy Ghost that he should not see death until he should see the Christ in the flesh.

And when the king heard the speech of Nadan he sorrowed with a great and sore sorrow, and stepped down from his throne and sat in the ashes, and began to weep and wail over Haiqar.

In no way do ye wail, harsh men, but laugh;

And change of times, and many a tearful wail,

Wail their most piteous fate. No fill of tears

Memphis, thou most shalt over Egypt wail;

O'er craven mortals greatly, thou shalt wail

All Asia shall wail on account of gifts

Smyrna, whirled down her cliffs, shall wail aloud,

To ashes, wail, and o'er great Syria,

Grasping thy dusky dress shalt wail alone,

Of thy destruction cease thy hateful wail.

Shall wail aloud, lament beside her banks,

And the dire race shall wail for myriad things

And o'er thee shall kingfishers wail sad dirge.

Do I wail bitterly in pitying grief.

Shall mourn together; they alas, alas! Shall wail

Shall the sad Persians by the Tigris wail,

How many things thou art obliged to wail!

Shall wail . . . while men are perishing
