Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
James 4:9 NASB1995

. . . For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law.
Nehemiah 8:9b NASB1995

The words of the law draws one to be convicted. When conviction causes us to mourn and weep in our souls, making us miserable, it is time to humble ourselves before God, seeking His forgiveness.

So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
Job 5:11 NASB1995
