And not shall they break for them in mourning, to comfort him for ones who died. And not shall they give them the cup of consolation to drink for one’s father or one’s mother.
And all his brothers and all his sisters came to him; and all knowing him before. And they ate bread with him in his house and consoled him and comforted him as to all the evil that Jehovah had brought on him. And they each man gave him one piece of money, and each man a ring of gold.
So I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold the tears of those who were oppressed, and there is not for them one who comforts! And at the hand of those oppressing them was power; but there was not one who comforts them.
Weep not for the ones who died and do not lament for him; weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he shall return no more, nor see the land of his birth.
Her uncleanness is in her skirts. She did not remember her end and has gone down wonderfully. She had no comforter. O Jehovah, see my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.
Groan quietly, be silent; do not make a mourning for her who died. Bind your turban on you, and put your sandals on your feet, and do not cover the mustache and do not eat the bread of men.
They shall not offer wine to Jehovah, and not shall be pleasing to Him. Their sacrifices shall be like the bread of sorrows to them; all who eat it shall be defiled, for their bread is for their person; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
I have not eaten of it in my sorrow; and not have I consumed any of it for uncleanness; nor have I given of it for the one who died. I have listened to the voice of Jehovah my God. I have done according to all that You have commanded me.
