¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion.
Tell the people that they must not eat any food.
Tell the people that they must all come to worship him.
¹⁶ Tell the people that they must all come.
Make them all ready to serve the Lord.
Bring the old people together.
Bring the children – even the smallest ones.
Every new husband must leave his room.
Every wife must leave her secret room.
¹⁷ There are priests who go in front of the Lord.
They must cry as they go from the temple door to the altar.
They must say to the Lord, ‘Do not hurt your people.
Do not let the people in other countries laugh at your own people.
They will point at them. And they will say that they have no value.
They will say that we have no God.’
