O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.

The verse 26 is found in chapter 6 of Jeremiah. A powerful nation advances from the north and causes terror. Jeremiah is instructed to test the people like metal, but the result is disappointing: the silver is rejected because the impurities cannot be separated. The metaphor shows that judgment reveals deeply rooted corruption.

O Tochter meines Volks, zieh Säcke an und lege dich in Asche; trage Leid wie um einen einzigen Sohn und klage wie die, so hoch betrübt sind! denn der Verderber kommt über uns plötzlich.
Hija de mi pueblo, cíñete de saco, y revuélcate en ceniza; hazte luto como por hijo único, llanto de amarguras: porque presto vendrá sobre nosotros el destruidor.
Hija de mi pueblo, vístete de tela de saco y revuélcate en ceniza. Haz duelo como por un hijo único, con amargo lamento, porque de repente vendrá sobre nosotros el destructor.
Fille de mon peuple, couvre-toi d'un sac et roule-toi dans la cendre, Prends le deuil comme pour un fils unique, Verse des larmes, des larmes amères! Car le dévastateur vient sur nous à l'improviste.
Figliuola del mio popolo, cingiti d’un sacco, e voltolati nella cenere; fa’ cordoglio, come per un figliuolo unico, ed un lamento amarissimo; perciocchè il guastatore verrà di subito sopra noi.
Ó filha do meu povo, cinge-te de saco, e revolve-te na cinza; pranteia como por um filho único, pranto de amargura; porque de repente virá o destruidor sobre nós.
我的百姓 啊,應當腰束麻布,滾在灰中。 要悲傷,如喪獨子般痛痛哭號, 因為滅命的忽然臨到我們。
