12. Therefore also now, saith Hashem, turn ye back to Me with all your lev, and with tzom, and with weeping, and with mourning;
13. And rend your lev, and not your garments, and turn unto Hashem Eloheichem; for He is channun (gracious) and rachum (merciful), slow to anger, and of rav chesed, and He relents from sending calamity.
14. Who knoweth but that He will return and have pity, and leave behind Him a berakhah; even a minchah and a nesekh unto Hashem Eloheichem?
15. Blow the shofar in Tziyon, sanctify a tzom, call an atzarah (solemn assembly);
16. Gather the people, set apart as kodesh the kahal (congregation), assemble the zekenim, gather the olalim, even those nursing at the breast; let the choson go forth of his cheder, and the kallah out of her chuppah (canopy).
