14 Proclaim a holy fast! Call an assembly! Gather the elders, all who dwell in the land, To the house of the Lord, your God, and cry out to the Lord! [AB]

15 O! The day! [7] For near is the day of the Lord, like destruction from the Almighty it is coming! [AC]

16 Before our very eyes [8] has not food been cut off? And from the house of our God, joy and gladness?
