call for the mourning-women] Since that ye cannot mourn your selves, hire others to do it. Or rather, make a very solemn lamentation; as at great funerals, where some were hired usually to mourn, and to make exquisite lamentation; women especially, that professed that trade, and could do it skilfully. 2 Chron. 35. 25. Job 3:8. Eccl. 12. 5. Amos 5:16.
