17 Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh,
Weep (A)between the porch and the altar,
And let them say, “(B)Pity Your people, O Yahweh,
And do not make Your inheritance a (C)reproach,
A byword among the nations.
Why should they among the peoples say,
(D)Where is their God?’”

Yahweh Will Spare His People

18 Then Yahweh [a]will be (E)zealous for His land
And [b]will (F)spare His people.
19 Then Yahweh [c]will answer and say to His people,
“Behold, I am going to (G)send you grain, new wine, and oil,
And you will be satisfied in full with [d]them;
And I will (H)never again make you a reproach among the nations.
