Jeremías 6:26 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 6:26

O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth
Either as a token of repentance for sin; so the king of Nineveh and his subjects did, to show their repentance, ( Jonah 3:6 Jonah 3:8 ) or as a sign of mourning, for the calamities coming on them, ( Genesis 37:34 ) and wallow thyself in ashes;
or roll thyself in them, as a token of the same. The Targum is,

``cover your heads with ashes.''
Make thee mourning as for an only son;
which of all is the most bitter: and therefore it is added, most bitter lamentation;
see ( Zechariah 12:10 ) . For the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us;
namely, Nebuchadnezzar, that would spoil their cities, towns, villages, and houses, and them of all their wealth and substance, and carry it away.

Jeremías 6:26 In-Context

24 Hemos oído de su fama, flaquean nuestras manos. La angustia se ha apoderado de nosotros, dolor como de mujer de parto.
25 No salgas al campo, ni andes por el camino; porque espada tiene el enemigo, y hay terror por todas partes.
26 Hija de mi pueblo, cíñete el cilicio y revuélcate en ceniza; haz duelo como por hijo único, lamento de gran amargura, porque de pronto el destructor vendrá sobre nosotros.
27 Te he puesto como observador y como examinador entre mi pueblo, para que conozcas y examines su conducta.
28 Todos ellos son rebeldes obstinados que andan calumniando. Son hierro y bronce; todos ellos están corrompidos.
