I ^hwore sackcloth;
I ⁱafflicted myself with fasting;

as one who laments his mother,
I ^lbowed down in mourning.

Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and ^rbeast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. ^sLet everyone turn from his evil way and from ^tthe violence that is in his hands.
