13. Formal Translation Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Enter and remain all night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God {Elohai, Worship Recipient}, for grain offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God. |
13. Dynamic Translation Put on sackcloth and mourn, O priests; cry out, you who serve at the altar. Come and spend the night in sackcloth, servants of my God {Elohai, Personal Deity}, because grain offerings and drink offerings are no longer brought to the house of your God. |
