Thematic Bible
Sackcloth » Illustrative » (girding with,) of heavy afflictions
called for weeping,
and for the wearing of sackcloth.
instead of a belt, a rope;
instead of beautifully styled hair,
instead of fine clothes, sackcloth;
instead of beauty, branding.
tremble, you overconfident ones!
Strip yourselves bare
and put sackcloth around your waists.
