What is the meaning of "Gavi Nizrech"?

1.

Rashi #1: Detach your hair 1 . This is like "va'Yagaz Salvim" (Bamidbar 11:31), "va'Yagaz Es Rosho" (Iyov 1:20). Radak - growth of hair is called Nezer, because a Nazir grows his hair. This is like "Karchi va'Gozi Al Bnei Ta'anugayich" (Michah 1:16). Cast away the Nezer that was glory for you. Cast it to the earth to mourn. It is feminine, corresponding to Keneses Yisrael.

2.

Rashi #2: Nizrech is your crown, an expression of grandeur. Also Targum Yonasan 2 and Menachem explain like this.

Malbim: This is a sign if despair and mourning.

Our and Radak's text of Targum Yonasan is Ravrevayich d'Yiglon (your nobles who will be exiled). He does not explain what you should detach. (PF)

4)

1.

Radak: This generation, on which He poured His anger.

2.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: The generation that transgressed His word.
