¹⁸ “I will remove from you
    all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
    which is a burden and reproach for you.

⁴ The roads to Zion mourn,^(A)
    for no one comes to her appointed festivals.
All her gateways are desolate,^(B)
    her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
    and she is in bitter anguish.^(C)

⁶ He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;
    he has destroyed^(A) his place of meeting.^(B)
The Lord has made Zion forget
    her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;^(C)
in his fierce anger he has spurned
    both king and priest.^(D)

⁷ The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.^(E)
He has given the walls of her palaces^(F)
    into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of an appointed festival.^(G)

“The deliverer will come from Zion;
    he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

²⁰ At that time I will gather you;
    at that time I will bring^(A) you home.
I will give you honor^(B) and praise^(C)
    among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes^[a](D)
    before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.

⁵ What will you do^(A) on the day of your appointed festivals,^(B)
    on the feast days of the Lord?
