The prophet Jeremiah composed a lament for King Josiah. It has become a custom in Israel for the singers, both men and women, to use this song when they mourn for him. The song is found in the collection of laments.

The LORD Almighty said, "Think about what is happening! Call for the mourners to come, for the women who sing funeral songs."

The people said, "Tell them to hurry and sing a funeral song for us, until our eyes fill with tears, and our eyelids are wet from crying."

And so the Sovereign LORD Almighty says, "There will be wailing and cries of sorrow in the city streets. Even farmers will be called to mourn the dead along with those who are paid to mourn.

'We played wedding music for you, but you wouldn't dance! We sang funeral songs, but you wouldn't cry!'

They arrived at Jairus' house, where Jesus saw the confusion and heard all the loud crying and wailing.
