"Sackcloth and ashes"

  1.   3 And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and afasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
  2.   5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
  3.   3 ¶ And I set my face unto the Lord God, to aseek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and bsackcloth, and ashes:
  4.   21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have arepented long ago in sackcloth and bashes.
  5.   13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
  6.   25 And except they repent in asackcloth and ashes, and cry mightily to the Lord their God, I will not bhear their prayers, neither will I deliver them out of their afflictions; and thus saith the Lord, and thus hath he commanded me.
