Mordecai Mourns the Decree
Esther 4:1-3
1
¶ When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2
And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3
And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
