Joel 2:16-18
New Living Translation
16 Gather all the people—
the elders, the children, and even the babies.
Call the bridegroom from his quarters
and the bride from her private room.
17 Let the priests, who minister in the Lord’s presence,
stand and weep between the entry room to the Temple and the altar.
Let them pray, “Spare your people, Lord!
Don’t let your special possession become an object of mockery.
Don’t let them become a joke for unbelieving foreigners who say,
‘Has the God of Israel left them?’”
The Lord’s Promise of Restoration
18 Then the Lord will pity his people
and jealously guard the honor of his land.

Let the bridegroom(C) leave his room
and the bride her chamber.
17 Let the priests, who minister(D) before the Lord,
weep(E) between the portico and the altar.(F)
Let them say, “Spare your people, Lord.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,(G)
a byword(H) among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?(I)’”
