At that time he will stand on the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west by a large valley. Half of the mountain will move northward, and half of it southward.

As he came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead

When he came near Jerusalem, at the place where the road went down the Mount of Olives, the large crowd of his disciples began to thank God and praise him in loud voices for all the great things that they had seen:

Jesus spent those days teaching in the Temple, and when evening came, he would go out and spend the night on the Mount of Olives.

Jesus left the city and went, as he usually did, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples went with him.

Then the apostles went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is about half a mile away from the city.

Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food; all the time my enemies ask me, "Where is your God?"

Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

(SEE 42:6)

To God, my defender, I say, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go on suffering from the cruelty of my enemies?"

Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

O God, declare me innocent, and defend my cause against the ungodly; deliver me from lying and evil people!

You are my protector; why have you abandoned me? Why must I go on suffering from the cruelty of my enemies?

Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.

He came closer to the city, and when he saw it, he wept over it,

The king covered his face and cried loudly, "O my son! My son Absalom! Absalom, my son!"

Mordecai then went back to the palace entrance while Haman hurried home, covering his face in embarrassment.

The rich people send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns, but find no water; they come back with their jars empty. Discouraged and confused, they hide their faces.

Because there is no rain and the ground is dried up, the farmers are sick at heart; they hide their faces.

Three years earlier the LORD had told Isaiah son of Amoz to take off his sandals and the sackcloth he was wearing. He obeyed and went around naked and barefoot.

The emperor of Assyria will lead away naked the prisoners he captures from those two countries. Young and old, they will walk barefoot and naked, with their buttocks exposed, bringing shame on Egypt.

Don't let your sobbing be heard. Do not go bareheaded or barefoot as a sign of mourning. Don't cover your face or eat the food that mourners eat."

You will not go bareheaded or barefoot or mourn or cry. You will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan to one another.

Let those who wept as they planted their crops, gather the harvest with joy!

Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed will come back singing for joy, as they bring in the harvest.

"Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them!

Be happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep.

If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness.
