- Gather the people, consecrate the assembly; bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber.
- Let the priests, who minister before the LORD, weep between the temple porch and the altar. Let them say, "Spare your people, O LORD. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?' "
- Then the LORD will be jealous for his land and take pity on his people.
- The LORD will reply to them: "I am sending you grain, new wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.
- "I will drive the northern army far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land, with its front columns going into the eastern sea and those in the rear into the western sea. And its stench will go up; its smell will rise." Surely he has done great things.

- 聚集眾民、使會眾自潔、招聚老者、聚集孩童、和喫奶的.使新郎出離洞房、新婦出離內室。
- 事奉耶和華的祭司、要在廊子和祭壇中間哭泣、說、耶和華阿、求你顧惜你的百姓、不要使你的產業受羞辱、列邦管轄他們.為何容列國的人說、他們的 神在哪裡呢。
- 耶和華就為自己的地發熱心、憐恤他的百姓.
- 耶和華應允他的百姓、說、我必賜給你們五穀、新酒、和油、使你們飽足.我也不再使你們受列國的羞辱.
- 卻要使北方來的軍隊遠離你們、將他們趕到乾旱荒廢之地、前隊趕入東海、後隊趕入西海.因為他們所行的大惡、〔原文是事〕臭氣上升、腥味騰空。
