Declare `it' not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice -- The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult -- The daughters of the Uncircumcised!

And he taketh to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.
