Rend Your Heart
12 “Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return(A) to me with all your heart,(B)
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
13 Rend your heart(C)
and not your garments.(D)
Return(E) to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,(F)
slow to anger and abounding in love,(G)
and he relents from sending calamity.(H)
14 Who knows? He may turn(I) and relent(J)
and leave behind a blessing(K)—
grain offerings and drink offerings(L)
for the Lord your God.
15 Blow the trumpet(M) in Zion,(N)
declare a holy fast,(O)
call a sacred assembly.(P)
16 Gather the people,
consecrate(Q) the assembly;
bring together the elders,(R)
gather the children,
those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom(S) leave his room
and the bride her chamber.
17 Let the priests, who minister(T) before the Lord,
weep(U) between the portico and the altar.(V)
Let them say, “Spare your people, Lord.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,(W)
a byword(X) among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?(Y)’”

2 Let the redeemed(A) of the Lord tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered(B) from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.[a]
4 Some wandered in desert(C) wastelands,
finding no way to a city(D) where they could settle.
5 They were hungry(E) and thirsty,(F)
and their lives ebbed away.
6 Then they cried out(G) to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way(H)
to a city(I) where they could settle.
8 Let them give thanks(J) to the Lord for his unfailing love(K)
and his wonderful deeds(L) for mankind,
