So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us.

For this put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned back from us.”

So put on clothes of mourning and weep with broken hearts, for the fierce anger of the LORD is still upon us.

Because of this, put on sackcloth; mourn and wail,  for the LORD’s burning anger  has not turned away from us.

For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.

For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, Lament and wail. For the fierce anger of the LORD Has not turned back from us.

“Sound the alarm in Judah, broadcast the news in Jerusalem. Say, ‘Blow the ram’s horn trumpet through the land!’ Shout out—a bullhorn bellow!— ‘Close ranks! Run for your lives to the shelters!’ Send up a flare warning Zion: ‘Not a minute to lose! Don’t sit on your hands!’ Disaster’s descending from the north. I set it off! When it lands, it will shake the foundations. Invaders have pounced like a lion from its cover, ready to rip nations to shreds, Leaving your land in wrack and ruin, your cities in rubble, abandoned. Dress in funereal black. Weep and wail, For GOD’s sledgehammer anger has slammed into us head-on.

“For this, put on sackcloth, Mourn and wail; For the fierce anger of the LORD Has not turned away from us.”

“For this reason, put on sackcloth [for mourning], Lament (mourn with expressions of grief for the dead) and wail, For the fierce anger of the LORD Has not turned back from us.”

So put on sackcloth! Mourn and wail, saying, ‘The fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us!’”
