1. KJV King James Version

   12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

   15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 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. 17 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?*2.17 rule over: or, use a byword against

2. NIV New International Version

   12 "Even now," declares the Lord,

   "return to me with all your heart,

   with fasting and weeping and mourning."

   13 Rend your heart

   and not your garments.

   Return to the Lord your God,

   for he is gracious and compassionate,

   slow to anger and abounding in love,

   and he relents from sending calamity.

   14 Who knows? He may turn and relent

   and leave behind a blessing—

   grain offerings and drink offerings

   for the Lord your God.

   15 Blow the trumpet in Zion,

   declare a holy fast,

   call a sacred assembly.

   16 Gather the people,

   consecrate the assembly;

   bring together the elders,

   gather the children,

   those nursing at the breast.

   Let the bridegroom leave his room

   and the bride her chamber.

   17 Let the priests, who minister before the Lord,

   weep between the portico and the altar.

   Let them say, "Spare your people, Lord.

   Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,

   a byword among the nations.

   Why should they say among the peoples,

   ‘Where is their God?’ "

4. NLT New Living Translation

   12 That is why the Lord says,

   "Turn to me now, while there is time.

   Give me your hearts.

   Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.

   13 Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,

   but tear your hearts instead."

   Return to the Lord your God,

   for he is merciful and compassionate,

   slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

   He is eager to relent and not punish.

   14 Who knows? Perhaps he will give you a reprieve,

   sending you a blessing instead of this curse.

   Perhaps you will be able to offer grain and wine

   to the Lord your God as before.

   15 Blow the ram’s horn in Jerusalem!

   Announce a time of fasting;

   call the people together

   for a solemn meeting.

   16 Gather all the people—

   the elders, the children, and even the babies.

   Call the bridegroom from his quarters

   and the bride from her private room.

   17 Let the priests, who minister in the Lord’s presence,

   stand and weep between the entry room to the Temple and the altar.

   Let them pray, "Spare your people, Lord!

   Don’t let your special possession become an object of mockery.

   Don’t let them become a joke for unbelieving foreigners who say,

   ‘Has the God of Israel left them?’"

5. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   12 "Yet even now," declares the Lord,

   "Return to Me with all your heart,

   And with fasting, weeping, and mourning;

   13 And tear your heart and not merely your garments."

   Now return to the Lord your God,

   For He is gracious and compassionate,

   Slow to anger, abounding in mercy

   And relenting of catastrophe.

   14 Who knows, He might turn and relent,

   And leave a blessing behind Him,

   Resulting in a grain offering and a drink offering

   For the Lord your God.

   15 Blow a trumpet in Zion,

   Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly,

   16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,

   Assemble the elders,

   Gather the children and the nursing infants.

   Have the groom come out of his room

   And the bride out of her bridal chamber.

   17 Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers,

   Weep between the porch and the altar,

   And let them say, "*2:17 Or Look compassionately onSpare Your people, Lord,

   And do not make Your inheritance a disgrace,

   With the nations jeering at them.

   Why should those among the peoples say,

   ‘Where is their God?’ "

   12 Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning. 13 And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil. 14 Who knoweth but he will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, 16 Gather together the people, sanctify the church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones, and them that suck at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his bed, and the bride out of her bride chamber. 17 Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord’s ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God?

8. MSG The Message

   12 But there’s also this, it’s not too late—

   God’s personal Message!—

   "Come back to me and really mean it!

   Come fasting and weeping, sorry for your sins!"

   13,14 Change your life, not just your clothes.

   Come back to God, your God.

   And here’s why: God is kind and merciful.

   He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot,

   This most patient God, extravagant in love,

   always ready to cancel catastrophe.

   Who knows? Maybe he’ll do it now,

   maybe he’ll turn around and show pity.

   Maybe, when all’s said and done,

   there’ll be blessings full and robust for your God!

   * * *

   15-17 Blow the ram’s horn trumpet in Zion!

   Declare a day of repentance, a holy fast day.

   Call a public meeting.

   Get everyone there. Consecrate the congregation.

   Make sure the elders come,

   but bring in the children, too, even the nursing babies,

   Even men and women on their honeymoon—

   interrupt them and get them there.

   Between Sanctuary entrance and altar,

   let the priests, God’s servants, weep tears of repentance.

   Let them intercede: "Have mercy, God, on your people!

   Don’t abandon your heritage to contempt.

   Don’t let the pagans take over and rule them

   and sneer, ‘And so where is this God of theirs?’"
