Verse 18

They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth ,.... As a token of mourning, Genesis 37:34 ;

and horror shall cover them : either the horror of a guilty conscience, or the perpetual dread and terror of the enemy:

and shame shall be upon all faces ; because of their sins and transgressions, which they shall now be convinced of; or because of their desolate condition, their sins had brought them into:

and baldness upon all their heads ; through the plucking off of the hair of their heads in their distress; for to make baldness as a token of mourning for the dead was forbidden the Jews, Deuteronomy 14:1 .
