It is a time to lament, a call to lament great losses.  There is a piling up of descriptive terms.  For the drunkards he tells them to awake and howl.  That's a description of strong emotions.  The city dwellers are told to lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth.  The farmers are told to be ashamed, to howl.  Finally the priests are told to do many things: gird themselves, howl, lie all night, gather, cry.
