These ^H428 are they who attended ^H8334 on the king ^H4428, apart ^H905 from those whom ^H834 the king ^H4428 put ^H5414 in the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892 through all ^H3605 Judah ^H3063.

My eyes ^H5869 shall be upon the faithful ^H539 of the land ^H776, that they may abide ^H3427 with me;

He who walks ^H1980 in the way ^H1870 of the blameless ^H8549 is the one ^H1931 who will minister ^H8334 to me.

Bless ^H1288 Yahweh ^H3068, all ^H3605 you His hosts ^H6635,

You who serve ^H8334 Him, doing ^H6213 His will ^H7522.

[fn]He makes ^H6213 His [fn]angels ^H4397 the winds ^H7307,

His ministers ^H8334 flaming ^H3857 fire ^H784.

If a ruler ^H4910 pays ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to a lying ^H8267 word ^H1697,

“Also the foreigners ^H1121 H5236 who join ^H3867 themselves to Yahweh ^H3068,

To minister ^H8334 to Him, and to love ^H157 the name ^H8034 of Yahweh ^H3068,

To be His [fn]slaves ^H5650, every ^H3605 one ^H3605 who keeps ^H8104 from profaning ^H2490 the sabbath ^H7676

And takes ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of My covenant ^H1285,

“All ^H3605 the flocks ^H6629 of Kedar ^H6938 will be gathered ^H6908 together to you;

The rams ^H352 of Nebaioth ^H5032 will minister ^H8334 to you;

They will go ^H5927 up ^H5927 with acceptance ^H7522 on My altar ^H4196,

And I shall [fn]adorn ^H6286 My [fn]glorious ^H8597 house ^H1004 with beautiful ^H6286 glory ^H6286.

“Foreigners ^H1121 will build ^H1129 up ^H1129 your walls ^H2346,

And their kings ^H4428 will minister ^H8334 to you;

For in My wrath ^H7110 I struck ^H5221 you,

And in My favor ^H7522 I have had ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you.

But you will be called ^H7121 the priests ^H3548 of Yahweh ^H3068;

You will be spoken ^H7121 of as ministers ^H8334 of our God ^H430.

You will eat ^H398 the wealth ^H2428 of nations ^H1471,

And in their glories ^H3519 you will boast ^H559.

“But the Levitical ^H3881 priests ^H3548, the sons ^H1121 of Zadok ^H6659, who ^H834 kept ^H8104 the responsibility ^H4931 of My sanctuary ^H4720 when the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 went ^H8582 astray ^H8582 from Me, shall come ^H7126 near ^H7126 to Me to minister ^H8334 to Me; and they shall stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 Me to bring ^H7126 near ^H7126 to Me the fat ^H2459 and the blood ^H1818,” declares ^H5002 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068.

The grain offering ^H4503 and the drink ^H5262 offering ^H5262 are cut ^H3772 off ^H3772

From the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068.

The priests ^H3548 mourn ^H56,

The ministers ^H8334 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Gird ^H2296 yourselves ^H2296 with sackcloth

And lament ^H5594, O priests ^H3548;

Wail ^H3213, O ministers ^H8334 of the altar ^H4196!

Come ^H935, spend ^H3885 the ^H3885 night ^H3885 in sackcloth ^H8242,

O ministers ^H8334 of my God ^H430;

For the grain offering ^H4503 and the drink ^H5262 offering ^H5262

Are withheld ^H4513 from the house ^H1004 of your God ^H430.

Let the priests ^H3548, the ministers ^H8334 of Yahweh ^H3068,

Weep ^H1058 between ^H996 the porch ^H197 and the altar ^H4196,

And let them say ^H559, “Pity ^H2347 Your people ^H5971, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And do not make ^H5414 Your inheritance ^H5159 a reproach ^H2781,

A byword ^H4912 among the nations ^H1471.

Why ^H4100 should they among the peoples ^H5971 say ^H559,

‘Where ^H346 is their God ^H430?’”
