⁶ therefore I despise myself,
    and repent^[a] in ^(A)dust and ashes.”

^30 (A)and shout aloud over you
    and cry out bitterly.
^(B)They cast dust on their heads
    ^(C)and wallow in ashes;

²⁶ O daughter of my people, ^(A)put on sackcloth,
    and ^(B)roll in ashes;
^(C)make mourning as for an only son,
    most bitter lamentation,
for suddenly the destroyer
    will come upon us.

³ to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
    ^(A)to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
^(B)the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
    the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
^(C)that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
    the planting of the Lord, ^(D)that he may be glorified.^[a]

⁷ For my sides are filled with burning,
    and there is ^(A)no soundness in my flesh.
