17 (A)Between the (B)vestibule and the (C)altar
    (D)let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
    and make not your heritage a reproach,
    a byword among the nations.[a]
(E)Why should they say among the peoples,
    ‘Where is their God?’”

The Lord Had Pity

18 (F)Then the Lord became jealous for his land
    (G)and had pity on his people.
19 The Lord answered and said to his people,
“Behold, (H)I am sending to you
    grain, wine, and oil,
    (I)and you will be satisfied;
and I will no more make you
    a reproach among the nations.
