When I said these things in my heart, I lifted up my eyes and saw a woman on my right, and behold, she was mourning and weeping with a loud voice, and was deeply grieved at heart, and her clothes were rent, and there were ashes on her head.
36
For we who have received the law and sinned will perish, as well as our heart which received it;
37
the law, however, does not perish but remains in its glory."

When I said these things in my heart, I lifted up my eyes and saw a woman on my right, and behold, she was mourning and weeping with a loud voice, and was deeply grieved at heart, and her clothes were rent, and there were ashes on her head.

and said to her, "Why are you weeping, and why are you grieved at heart?"
