Mormon 2:13

"But behold this my joy was vain, for their sorrowing was not unto repentance, because of the goodness of God; but it was rather the sorrowing of the damned, because the Lord would not always suffer them to take happiness in sin."

It's so sad that these people were so lost that they could not turn unto God to seek peace. They were so far away from the Spirit that they would not humble themselves. Their pride brought sorrow and lamentation.
