Set apart a fast; call a solemn gathering; gather the elders and all the people of the land into the house of Jehovah your God, and cry to the Lord,

The seed is rotten under their clods; the storage bins are laid waste; the barns are broken down, for the grain has dried up.

They shall leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle order.

And it shall be, whoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be saved; for salvation shall be in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, as Jehovah has said, and in the remnant whom Jehovah shall call.

Let the nations be awakened and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations all around.
