9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Illustration of James 4:8-10 NLT -- Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
