Jeremiah 50:33

³³ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

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.
