* Yet even now , saith Jehovah , turn to me with all your heart , and with fasting , and with weeping , and with mourning ; * and rend your heart , and not your garments , and turn unto Jehovah your God : for he is gracious and merciful , slow to anger , and of great loving-kindness , and repenteth him of the evil . * Who knoweth ? He might return and repent , and leave a blessing behind him , an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God ? * Blow the trumpet in Zion , hallow a fast , proclaim a solemn assembly ; * gather the people , hallow the congregation , assemble the elders , gather the children , and those that suck the breasts ; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber , and the bride from her closet . * Let the priests , the ministers of Jehovah , weep between the porch and the altar , and let them say , Spare , O Jehovah , thy people , and give not thine inheritance to reproach , that they should be a byword of the nations . Wherefore should they say among the peoples , Where is their God ?
