Joel 2:17

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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?’”

World English Bible (WEB)

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{H3548}, the ministers{H8334}{(H8764)} of the LORD{H3068}, weep{H1058}{(H8799)} between the porch{H197} and the altar{H4196}, and let them say{H559}{(H8799)}, Spare{H2347}{(H8798)} thy people{H5971}, O LORD{H3068}, and give{H5414}{(H8799)} not thine heritage{H5159} to reproach{H2781}, that the heathen{H1471} should rule over{H4910}{(H8800)} them: wherefore should they say{H559}{(H8799)} among the people{H5971}, Where is their God{H430}?

The F.O.G *

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?"

The F.O.G Message *

Young's Literal Translation

Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests, ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: ‘Have pity, O Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where is their God?’

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
