'Gird' in the Bible

Be broken, [you] peoples, and be dismayed. And listen, all distant [parts of the] earth; gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed!

They gird themselves [with] sackcloth in its streets; on its roofs and public squares everyone wails, going down in weeping.

Tremble, [you who are] at ease; tremble, carefree ones; strip, and strip yourself, and gird yourself on [your] loins,

I [am] Yahweh, and there is none besides [me]; besides me there is no god. I gird you though you do not know me,

Look! All of you [are] kindlers of fire, who gird yourselves with flaming arrows. Walk in the light of your fire, and among [the] flaming arrows you have kindled! You shall have this from my hand: you shall lie down in a place of torment.
