14 Who knows whether he will turn and relent,
    and leave a blessing behind him,
an offering and a libation,
    for Yahweh your God?
15 Blow the trumpet[a] in Zion,
    sanctify a fast, call an assembly;

        even those who are breast-feeding;
let the bridegroom come out from his private room,
    and the bride from her canopy.
