The Day of Yahweh Is Near

13 (A)Gird yourselves with sackcloth
And lament, O priests;
(B)Wail, O ministers of the altar!
Come, (C)spend the night in sackcloth,
O ministers of my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
14 (D)Set apart a fast as holy,
Call for a (E)solemn assembly;
Gather the elders
And all the inhabitants of the land
To the house of Yahweh your God,
And (F)cry out to Yahweh.
15 (G)Alas for the day!
For the (H)day of Yahweh is near,
And it will come as (I)destruction from the [a]Almighty.

A Call to Lamentation

13 Put on sackcloth,(A) you priests, and mourn;
    wail, you who minister(B) before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
    you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings(C)
    are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;(D)
    call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
    and all who live in the land(E)
to the house of the Lord your God,
    and cry out(F) to the Lord.(G)

15 Alas for that(H) day!
    For the day of the Lord(I) is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty.[a](J)
