For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.

ગુજરાતીમીખાહ ૧:૮
એને લીધે હું પોક મૂકીને વિલાપ કરીશ; અને ઉઘાડા પગે નિર્વસ્ત્ર થઈને ફરીશ; હું શિયાળવાંની જેમ રડીશ, અને ઘુવડની જેમ કળકળીશ.
हिन्दीमीका १:८
इस कारण मैं छाती पीटकर हाय-हाय, करूँगा; मैं लुटा हुआ सा और नंगा चला फिरा करूँगा; मैं गीदड़ों के समान चिल्लाऊँगा, और शुतुर्मुर्गों के समान रोऊँगा।

In context

6Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.

7All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”

8For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.

9For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

10Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
