Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all dwellers of the land. Has this been in your days or even in the days of your fathers?

Weep like a virgin clothed with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, gather the elders, gather the children and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her room.

So you shall know that I am Jehovah your God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be a holy thing, and no aliens shall pass through her any more.
