Joel 2:17-19
New Century Version
17 The priests, the Lord’s servants, should cry
between the altar and the entrance to the Temple.
They should say, “Lord, have mercy on your people.
Don’t let them be put to shame;
don’t let other nations make fun of them.
Don’t let people in other nations ask,
‘Where is their God?’”
The Lord Restores the Land
18 Then the Lord became concerned about his land
and felt sorry for his people.
19 He said to them:
“I will send you grain, new wine, and olive oil,
so that you will have plenty.
No more will I shame you
among the nations.
Joel 2:17-19
New International Version
17 Let the priests, who minister(A) before the Lord,
weep(B) between the portico and the altar.(C)

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)’”
