The rulers and governors of the city, for having taken a false step in provoking the enemy, and then holding out the siege no longer, as it was thought they might and would: or rather "over thee", or, "for thee" ; mourning over the city, and lamenting its sad case; see Re 18:9:and shall cry bitterly; with great weeping, howling, and shrieking:and they shall cast dust upon their heads; a custom used in the eastern countries, in time of mourning and sorrow; see Re 18:19:and they shall wallow themselves in ashes: or roll themselves in them, another custom used in mourning; see Jer 6:26.
