• Ecclesiastes 7:2-4
  Better to go to the house of mourning
  Than to go to the house of feasting,
  For that is the end of all men;
  And the living will take it to heart.
  Sorrow is better than laughter,
  For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.
  The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
  But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

• 2 Corinthians 7:9-10
  Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

  A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice. At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God.
