Bible Verses About Sackcloth: Girt about the loins

And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.

And his seruants sayd vnto him, Beholde nowe, we haue heard say that the Kings of the house of Israel are mercifull Kings: we pray thee, let vs put sacke cloth about our loynes, and ropes about our heads, and goe out to the King of Israel: it may be that he will saue thy life.
