Gill's Notes on the Bible

Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests,.... Prepare and be ready to raise up lamentation and mourning; or gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in that, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi supply the words; see Jeremiah 4:8;

howl, ye ministers of the altar; who served there, by laying on and burning the sacrifices, or offering incense:

come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; that is, come into the house of the Lord, as Kimchi; into the court of the priests, and there lie all night, in the sackcloth girded with; putting up prayers to God, with weeping and lamentations, that he would avert the judgments that were come or were coming upon theme:

for the meat offering and the drink offering are withholden from the house of your God; Jeremiah 4:8- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Gird yourselves - that is, with haircloth, as is elsewhere expressed Isaiah 22:12; Jeremiah 4:8; Jeremiah 6:26. The outward affliction is an expression of the inward grief, and itself excites to further grief. This their garment of affliction and penitence, they were not to put off day and night. Their wonted duty was to “offer up sacrifice for their own sins and the sins of the people” Hebrews 7:27, and to entreat God for them. This their office the prophet calls them to discharge day and night; to “come” into the court of the temple, and there, where God showed Himself in majesty and mercy, “lie all night” prostrate before God, not at ease, but in sackcloth. He calls to them in the Name of his God, “Ye ministers of my God;” of Him, to whom, whosoever forsook Him, he himself was faithful. : “The prophets called the God of all, their own God, being united to Him by singular love and reverential obedience, so that they could say, “God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” Psalms 73:26. He calls Him, further, “their” God, (your God) in order to remind them of His special favor to them, and their duty to Him who allowed them to call Him “their” God.
