Esther 4:1

ow when Mordecai [Esther’s foster father, see Est. 2:7] heard of all that had been done (decreed), he tore his clothes and sat down in sackcloth and ashes and went to the center of the city and cried out in a loud, boisterous, and bitter voice. [Sitting down in sackcloth and ashes is a common expression of grief, even the bitter cry.]
