To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.

‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?

Behold, I was left alone;
From where did these come?’”

For their bread will be for themselves alone;
It will not enter the house of the Lord.
