Judith 4:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ And the sons of Israel did after this behest (or command), that Joakim, the (high) priest of the Lord, had ordained to them.

⁸ And all the people cried to the Lord with great instance, or hearty beseeching, and they and the women of them meeked their souls in fastings.

⁹ And the priests clothed themselves with hair-shirts, and the young children bowed themselves against (or towards) the face of the temple of the Lord, and they covered the altar of the Lord with an hair-shirt.
