Rend Your Heart

 ¹³ Rend your heart 
       and not your garments. 
       Return to the LORD your God, 
       for he is gracious and compassionate, 
       slow to anger and abounding in love, 
       and he relents from sending calamity.

 ¹⁴ Who knows? He may turn and have pity 
       and leave behind a blessing-- 
       grain offerings and drink offerings 
       for the LORD your God.

 ¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion, 
       declare a holy fast, 
       call a sacred assembly.

 ¹⁶ Gather the people, 
       consecrate the assembly; 
       bring together the elders, 
       gather the children, 
       those nursing at the breast. 
       Let the bridegroom leave his room 
       and the bride her chamber.

 ¹⁷ Let the priests, who minister before the LORD, 
       weep between the temple porch and the altar. 
       Let them say, "Spare your people, O LORD. 
       Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, 
       a byword among the nations. 
       Why should they say among the peoples, 
       'Where is their God?' "
