Are you referring to what Daniel references in Daniel 9:2, if so: Daniel is speaking about Jeremiah's promise & Prophecy given by GOD to Israel about their return from captivity. Jeremiah 29:10
The term is also used to describe a Hebrew custom which indicated deep sorrow. Upon the death of a relative or important personage, or when there was a great calamity, it was customary for the Hebrews to tear their garments. Reuben rent his clothes when he found that Joseph had been taken from the pit ( Genesis 37:29). The sons of Jacob rent their clothes when the cup was found in Benjamin's sack ( Genesis 44:13). A messenger came to Eli with his clothes rent to tell of the taking of the ark of God and of the death of his two sons ( 1 Samuel 4:12). David rent his garments when he heard that Absalom had slain his brothers ( 2 Samuel 13:31). See also 2 Samuel 15:32; 2 Kings 18:37; Isaiah 36:22; Jeremiah 41:5. Rending of clothes was also an expression of indignation. The high priest rent his garment when Jesus spoke what he thought was blasphemy ( Matthew 26:65).
Jeremiah 41 - Here is an example of wicked men doing wickedly while God keeps silence, beholding afar off; as the men who are dealing with these things have no thought to seek the counsel of God for His judgment. Thus do men think in their hearts as if God is not in any of those things, nor that religion has any relevance or authority for their circumstances; but that their human thinking is best.
In verse 5 even though the men from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria were bringing offerings to the house of Jehovah, the practices of these men weren't fully in harmony with the law of Jehovah which is shown by the fact that they made cuts upon themselves. This practice was prohibited by the Law at Leviticus 19:28 and 21:5.
Ishmael, a blood-thirsty murderer. Johanan, the unGodly man, who did not heed Jeremiah's warning of not going to Egypt. Gedaliah, a self-confident man, who care not for God's counsel, to seek for it - when Jeremiah is with him. All of them have their grim fate.
