By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Joel 2:17

בֵּין הָאוּלָם וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ יִבְכּוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים מְשָׁרְתֵי יְהוָה וְֽיֹאמְרוּ חוּסָה יְהוָה עַל-עַמֶּךָ וְאַל-תִּתֵּן נַחֲלָתְךָ לְחֶרְפָּה לִמְשָׁל-בָּם גּוֹיִם לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ בָֽעַמִּים אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃
17
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

2 Corinthians 7:8

ὅτι εἰ καὶ ἐλύπησα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ οὐ μεταμέλομαι· εἰ καὶ μετεμελόμην βλέπω γὰρ ὅτι ἡ ἐπιστολὴ ἐκείνη εἰ καὶ πρὸς ὥραν ἐλύπησεν ὑμᾶς
8
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
