Joel 2:17

Let the priests who minister before the LORD weep between the portico and the altar, saying, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your heritage a reproach, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, Yahweh, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”

Strong's King James
Let the priests, יהוה Yahweh's servants, Weep between the entrance hall and the altar, And say, "Spare Your people, יהוה Yahweh, do not give Your inheritance to be a disgrace, A proverb in their nations, why oh why, should these peoples say, "Where in their God?"
