A Call to Repentance

13 Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests;
    wail, ministers of the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
    ministers of my God,

    are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Consecrate a fast,
    call a sacred assembly,

    and like devastation from the Almighty it comes.
