Jeremia 6:26

O bijë e popullit tim, vishu me thes dhe rrotullohu në hi; mbaj zi si për një bir të vetëm, me një vajtim shumë të hidhur, sepse shkatërruesi do të sulet mbi ne papritmas.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wallow thyself in ashes - Violent distress is accustomed to find relief in eccentric actions, and thus the wallowing in ashes shows that Jerusalem’s grief is unbearable.

The spoiler - Nebuchadnezzar.
