¹⁷ Let the priests, who minister^(A) before the Lord,
    weep^(B) between the portico and the altar.^(C)
Let them say, “Spare your people, Lord.
    Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,^(D)
    a byword^(E) among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
    ‘Where is their God?^(F)’”

⁶ And you will be called priests^(A) of the Lord,
    you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth^(B) of nations,
    and in their riches you will boast.
