Do not mention temptations nor attempt to be a pirate

The ancient Greek word "πειρατής" ≈ "pirate" comes from the base the ancient Greek word "πεῖρα" ≈ "trial, experiment, attempt".
A pirate is someone who steals something that belongs to someone else. They are tempted by getting something easy without working for it at the expense of others - often using trickery.

Change the friendly flag to the pirate flag right before the attack.

Have you ever been tempted to be a pirate? Have you ever attempted to be a pirate? Don't mention it (it does not tempt me). Those ideas and concepts are related.

Software piracy is stealing software, or intellectual property, that belongs to someone else.

Some sports teams use the name "Pirates" such as the Pittsburgh Pirates MLB (Major League Baseball) team.
The Pittsburgh Steelers NFL (National Football League) team name sounds like a play on words on "Pirates" but comes from the steel industry that was located in the Pittsburgh area. (The only NFL team to have a private non-football company logo on the helmet - and only on one side of the helmet).

A buccaneer, as in the team name of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was a term, from the French, from the 1700's, of legalized piracy, as long as the pirate did not plunder ships from the country sponsoring the "buccaneer".

Genesis 49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. [kjv]

γαδ πειρατηριον πειρατευσει αυτον αυτος δε πειρατευσει αυτων κατα ποδας [lxx]

The English word "pirate" comes from the Latin word "pirata" ≈ "pirate" which comes from the ancient Greek word "πειρατής" ≈ "pirate, robber". We see the use of this word for pirate or robber in the LXX (Septuagint).

The modern Greek word "πειρατής" (pee-ra-TEES) ≈ "pirate".
The most famous and notorious pirates in ancient times were from Cilicia and the name of that region was often used as a word for pirate.

Genesis 49:19

All

KJV: Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

Hebrew: גד גדוד יגודנו והוא יגד עקב׃

Greek: γαδ πειρατηριον πειρατευσει αυτον αυτος δε πειρατευσει αυτων κατα ποδας

Hosea 6:9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. [kjv]

και η ισχυς σου ανδρος πειρατου εκρυψαν ιερεις οδον κυριου εφονευσαν σικιμα οτι ανομιαν εποιησαν [lxx]

We see this sense of "rob" as a "pirate" in Hosea. 6:9.

The "pirate" sense is that some trickery is involved as in an "ambush" and not as a standing army fighting a battle.

Hosea 6:9

All

KJV: And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

Hebrew: וכחכי איש גדודים חבר כהנים דרך ירצחו שכמה כי זמה עשו׃

Greek: και η ισχυς σου ανδρος πειρατου εκρυψαν ιερεις οδον κυριου εφονευσαν σικιμα οτι ανομιαν εποιησαν

Today Nags Head, NC, part of what is called the Outer Banks, is a beach area on the Atlantic Coast.

The legendary history of Nags Head, NC, comes from pirate sailors who would have a nag (old goat) carry a lantern around on the beach to make passing ships think they were safe before running aground whereupon the pirates could get their booty without the danger of having to go to sea.

Like peiristic examinational reasoning where one uses what the other person believes to try to trick or deceive them, pirates (same root word in Greek) prefer use trickery to deceive their victims.

Sackcloth is mentioned many times in the Bible.

Matthew 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. [kjv]

ουαι σοι χοραζιν ουαι σοι βηθσαιδα οτι ει εν τυρω και σιδωνι εγενοντο αι δυναμεις αι γενομεναι εν υμιν παλαι αν εν σακκω και σποδω μετενοησαν [gnt]

Acts 21:39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. [kjv]

ειπεν δε ο παυλος εγω ανθρωπος μεν ειμι ιουδαιος ταρσευς της κιλικιας ουκ ασημου πολεως πολιτης δεομαι δε σου επιτρεψον μοι λαλησαι προς τον λαον [gnt]

27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. [kjv]

το τε πελαγος το κατα την κιλικιαν και παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντες κατηλθαμεν κατηλθομεν εις της λυκιας [gnt]

Here we are interested in the Latin word for "sackcloth" and the relation to Cicilia and pirates.

Let us return to the etymology of "pirate".

The ancient Greek word "πειρατής" ≈ "pirate" comes from the base the ancient Greek word "πεῖρα" ≈ "trial, experiment, attempt".

Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. [kjv]

και προσελθων ο πειραζων ειπεν αυτω ει υιος ει του θεου ειπον ινα οι λιθοι ουτοι αρτοι γενωνται [gnt]

Besides the word for "pirate", another ancient Greek word derived from "trial" is "πειράζω" ≈ "try, tempt". In a sense, a "pirate" is "tempted" to try to take something from someone else, by force, but using devious means.

The "tempter" is like a "pirate" (the words are related) in that the tempter is trying to accomplish his "pirating" by trickery rather than force.

In the temptations in the wilderness, Satan quotes scripture, out of context, while Jesus answers with scripture, in context.
