Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Be afflicted ... х talaipooreesate (G5003)] - endure misery; i:e., mourn over your wretchedness through sin. Repent with deep sorrow instead of "laughter." A blessed mourning. Contrast Isaiah 22:12-13; Luke 6:25. In James 5:1, "howl" for the doom of the impenitent-namely, at the coming destruction of Jerusalem.
Heaviness, х kateefeian (G2726)] - falling of the countenance: casting down of the eyes.
