For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.
Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow (in ashes), ye principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel.
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he hath covered me with ashes.
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all: at Beth-le-aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.
