MLV(i)
1 Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth with ashes and went out into the midst of the city and cried with a loud and a bitter cry.
2 And he came even before the king's gate, for none might enter inside the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3 And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews and fasting and weeping and wailing and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 And Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told it to her. And the queen was exceedingly grieved. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and to take his sackcloth from him, but he did not receive it.
