Joel 2:17-19
The Voice
Joel 2:17-19
The Voice
17 Let the priests, the Eternal’s servants, stand between the porch and the altar
and weep as they intercede. Let them say,
Priests: Have pity on Your people, O Eternal One!
And do not let Your legacy—Your covenant people—
Be taunted and mocked by the nations,
who ask, “Where is their God?”
18 But wait—the Eternal One has become possessive of His land;
He will restore us in compassion, His people!
19 In response to our prayers, the Eternal will answer:
Eternal One: Listen! I am sending you a great harvest of grain, wine, and oil.
You will be completely satisfied and no longer
Will I make you a people held in contempt by the nations.

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)’”
