Jeremiah 50:23

²³ How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

Rend, the garments

'To rend the garments' signifies mourning for truth lost or destroyed, or the loss of faith.

'Rending the garments' can also signify zeal for doctrine and truth, and humility.

⁷ All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
