The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Lamentations 2:10Sit upon the ground - See the note on Lamentations 1:1.
Keep silence - No words can express their sorrows: small griefs are eloquent, great ones dumb.
