So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and walked about softly.

And in that day Jehovah of Hosts called for weeping and mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

He has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.

The adversaries of Jehovah are broken in pieces; from the heavens He thunders against them. Jehovah judges the ends of the earth. He gives strength to His king, and exalts the horn of His anointed.

let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; yea, let him trample down my life upon the earth and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

do not lift up your horn on high; nor speak with a stiff neck.

I will also cut off all the horns of the wicked; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
