Jeremiah6:26
26. wallow ... in ashes--(Jr 25:34; Mi 1:10). As they usually in mourning only "cast ashes on the head," wallowing in them means something more, namely, so entirely to cover one's self with ashes as to be like one who had rolled in them (Eze 27:30).
as for an only son--(Am 8:10; Zec 12:10).
lamentation--literally, "lamentation expressed by beating the breast."
