12“Yet evenH1571 nowH6258,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “1ReturnH7725 to Me with allH3605 your heartH3824, And with 2fastingH6685, weepingH1065, and mourningH4553;13And 3tearH7167 your heartH3824 and not merely 4your garmentsH899.” Now returnH7725 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, For He is 5graciousH2587 and compassionateH7349, SlowH750 to angerH639, aboundingH7227 in mercyH2617 And 6relentingH5162 of catastropheH7463.14WhoH4310 knowsH3045, 7He might turnH7725 and relentH5162, And leaveH7604 a 8blessingH1293 behindH310 Him, Resulting in 9a grain offeringH4503 and a drinkH5262 offeringH5262 For the LordH3068 your GodH430.1510BlowH8628 a trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, 11ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685, proclaimH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116,16GatherH622 the peopleH5971, 12sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, AssembleH6908 the eldersH2205, GatherH622 the childrenH5768 and the nursingH3243H7699 infantsH3243H7699. Have the 13groomH2860 comeH3318 outH3318 of his roomH2315 And the brideH3618 out of her bridalH2646 chamberH2646.17Let the priestsH3548, the Lord’sH3068 ministersH8334, WeepH1058 14betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altarH4196, And let them sayH559, “1516SpareH2347 Your peopleH5971, LordH3068, And do not makeH5414 Your inheritanceH5159 a 17disgraceH2781, With the nationsH1471 jeeringH4912 at them. WhyH4100 should those among the peoplesH5971 sayH559, ‘18WhereH346 is their GodH430?’”
