Esther 4:1-4

1
When Mordecai learned of all that had happened, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.
2
But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because the law prohibited anyone wearing sackcloth from entering that gate.
3
