Ezekiel 7:16
New King James Version
16 ‘Those who (A)survive will escape and be on the mountains
Like doves of the valleys,
All of them mourning,
Each for his iniquity.
Isaiah 59:11
New King James Version
11 We all growl like bears,
And (A)moan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
Isaiah 38:14
New King James Version
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered;
(A)I mourned like a dove;
My eyes fail from looking upward.
O [a]Lord, I am oppressed;
[b]Undertake for me!

Mourning for the Pierced One
10 (A)“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will (B)look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him (C)as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great (D)mourning in Jerusalem, (E)like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of [a]Megiddo. 12 (F)And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of (G)Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

18 “I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself:
‘You have (A)chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
(B)Restore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.

And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was (D)ashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’

And Ephraim is My (C)firstborn.

11 And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!
13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 I was on the verge of total ruin,
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
