Esther 4:1-3
1When Mordecai learned 1all that had been done, 2he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly. 2He went as far as the king’s gate, for no one was to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth. 3In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with 3fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.
