Esther 4:1-2

Young's Literal Translation

4 And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth -- a cry loud and bitter,

² and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.
