Esther 4:1-2
1
Now when Mordecai knew 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 he came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter within the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
