aSanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
bLet the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room.
Weep abetween the porch and the altar;
Let them say, b“Spare Your people, O Lord,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should1 rule over them.
cWhy should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”
The Land Refreshed
“Behold, I will send you agrain and new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied by them;
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back ctoward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done1 monstrous things.”
For athe open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
