# Gird yourselves with sackcloth
People would wear sackcloth to show that they were very sad. The command "gird yourselves," which usually means "prepare for work" or "prepare for battle" is ironic: they are to prepare to mourn, not to work or fight. See how you translated similar words in [Jeremiah 4:8](../04/08.md). Alternate translation: "Put on the clothes that show you are mourning" or "Prepare to mourn" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-symaction]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]])
