baldness—a sign of mourning (Isaiah 15:2; Jeremiah 48:37; Ezekiel 7:18).
I will make it as . . . mourning of an only son—"it," that is, "the earth" (Amos 8:9). I will reduce the land to such a state that there shall be the same occasion for mourning as when parents mourn for an only son (Jeremiah 6:26; Zechariah 12:10).
