Who then should make more mourning than she, that hath lost so great a multitude; and not thou, which art sorry but for one?
12
But if thou sayest unto me, My lamentation is not like the earth's, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, which I brought forth with pains, and bare with sorrows;
13
But the earth not so: for the multitude present in it according to the course of the earth is gone, as it came:
14
Then say I unto thee, Like as thou hast brought forth with labour; even so the earth also hath given her fruit, namely, man, ever since the beginning unto him that made her.
15
Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee.
