16GatherH622 the peopleH5971, 1sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, AssembleH6908 the eldersH2205, GatherH622 the childrenH5768 and the nursingH3243H7699 infantsH3243H7699. Have the 2groomH2860 comeH3318 outH3318 of his roomH2315 And the brideH3618 out of her bridalH2646 chamberH2646.17Let the priestsH3548, the Lord’sH3068 ministersH8334, WeepH1058 3betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altarH4196, And let them sayH559, “45SpareH2347 Your peopleH5971, LordH3068, And do not makeH5414 Your inheritanceH5159 a 6disgraceH2781, With the nationsH1471 jeeringH4912 at them. WhyH4100 should those among the peoplesH5971 sayH559, ‘7WhereH346 is their GodH430?’”

18Then the LordH3068 8will beH7065 9zealousH7065 for His landH776, And 10will haveH2550 11compassionH2550 for His peopleH5971.
