17 As they serve[a] between the porch and the altar,
    let the priests and ministers of the Lord weep and pray:
‘Spare your people, Lord,
    and do not make your heritage a disgrace
        so that nations ridicule them.
Why should they say among the people,
    “Where is their God?”’”

Response to the People’s Repentance

18 Then the Lord will show great concern for his land,
    and will have compassion on his people.
19 The Lord will say to his people,
    “Look! I will send you grain, new wine, and oil,
        and you will be content with them.
I will no longer cause you to be a disgrace among the nations.”
