- Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
- Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
- Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
- Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
- But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath 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。
