- 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。

- Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants Let the bridegroom come out of his room And the bride out of her bridal chamber.
- Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations Why should they among the peoples say, 'Where is their God?'"
- Then the LORD will be zealous for His land And will have pity on His people.
- The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied in full with them; And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.
- "But I will remove the northern army far from you, And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land, And its vanguard into the eastern sea, And its rear guard into the western sea And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up, For it has done great things."
