13 tear your hearts
        and not your clothing.
    Return to the Lord your God,
        for he is merciful and compassionate,
        very patient, full of faithful love,
            and ready to forgive.

    and leave a blessing behind him,
    a grain offering and a drink offering

15 Blow the horn in Zion;
        demand a fast;
        request a special assembly.
