Rh :Even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the Lord your God?


 * Blow the trumpet in Zion,
 * Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
 * Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders,
 * Gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:
 * Let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
 * Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar,
 * And let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord,
 * And give not thine heritage to reproach,
 * That the heathen should rule over them:
 * Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
 * Then will the Lord be jealous for his land,
 * And pity his people.


 * Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people,
 * Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil,
 * And ye shall be satisfied therewith:
 * And I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
 * But I will remove far off from you the northern army,
 * And will drive him into a land barren and desolate,
 * With his face toward the east sea,
