17 Let the priests, the Lords ministers,
Weep (A)between the porch and the altar,
And let them say, “[a](B)Spare Your people, Lord,
And do not make Your inheritance a (C)disgrace,
With the nations jeering at them.
Why should those among the peoples say,
(D)Where is their God?’”

Deliverance Promised

18 Then the Lord [b]will be (E)zealous for His land,
And [c]will have (F)compassion for His people.
19 The Lord [d]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 [e]them;
And I will (H)never again make you a disgrace among the nations.
