Our hands grow feeble.
aAnguish has taken hold of us,
Pain as of a woman in1 labor.
Nor walk by the way.
Because of the sword of the enemy,
Fear is on every side.
aDress in sackcloth
bAnd roll about in ashes!
cMake mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation;
For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
That you may know and test their way.
They are cbronze and iron,
They are all corrupters;

Jeremiah 6:26
Wallow thyself in ashes - Violent distress is accustomed to find relief in eccentric actions, and thus the wallowing in ashes shows that Jerusalem' s grief is unbearable.
The spoiler - Nebuchadnezzar.
