- 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.

- 聚集众民,使会众自洁,招聚老者,聚集孩童,和吃奶的。使新郎出离洞房,新妇出离内室。
- 事奉耶和华的祭司,要在廊子和祭坛中间哭泣,说,耶和华阿,求你顾惜你的百姓,不要使你的产业受羞辱,列邦管辖他们。为何容列国的人说,他们的神在那里呢。
- 耶和华就为自己的地发热心,怜恤他的百姓。
- 耶和华应允他的百姓,说,我必赐给你们五谷,新酒,和油,使你们饱足。我也不再使你们受列国的羞辱。
- 却要使北方来的军队远离你们,将他们赶到乾旱荒废之地,前队赶入东海,后队赶入西海。因为他们所行的大恶(原文是事),臭气上升,腥味腾空。
