"I have sewedsackclothovermy skinAnd thrustmy hornin the dust.
So Jacobtorehis clothes,and putsackclothon his loinsand mournedfor his sonmanydays.
It cameabout when Ahabheardthesewords,that he torehis clothesand puton sackclothand fasted,and he layin sackclothand wentabout despondently.
"He has strippedmy honorfrom me And removedthe crownfrom my head.
"He has castme into the mire,And I have becomelikedustand ashes.
When I madesackclothmy clothing,I becamea bywordto them.
Let the enemypursuemy souland overtake[it]; And let him tramplemy lifedownto the groundAnd laymy gloryin the dust.Selah.
And allthe hornsof the wickedHe will cutoff,[But] the hornsof the righteouswill be liftedup.
Do not liftup your hornon high,Do not speakwith insolentpride.'"
Therefore in that daythe LordGODof hostscalled[you] to weeping,to wailing,To shavingthe headand to wearingsackcloth.
Let him puthis mouthin the dust,Perhapsthereis hope.
Then Hannahprayedand said,"My heartexultsin the LORD;My hornis exaltedin the LORD,My mouthspeaksboldlyagainstmy enemies,BecauseI rejoicein Your salvation.
"Those who contendwith the LORDwill be shattered;Againstthem He will thunderin the heavens,The LORDwill judgethe endsof the earth;And He will givestrengthto His king,And will exaltthe hornof His anointed."
