Weep (A)between the porch and the altar;

And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should [a]rule over them.
(C)Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”

“Behold, I will send you (F)grain and new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied by them;
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
