But when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fastings; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

As a friend, as to my brother, I walked about; as one who mourns for a mother, I was bowed down in gloom, mourning.

at that time Jehovah spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth off your loins, and take your sandal off your foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

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

Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

Gird yourselves and lament, you priests. Howl, you ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who serve my God. For the food offering and the drink offering are held back from the house of your God.

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those who are round about us.

You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the nations where Jehovah shall drive you.

then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will send away from before My face; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

and I will deliver them over in horror into all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, for a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, there in all the places where I shall drive them.
