12 The Lord, the Lord Almighty,

called you on that day

to weep and to wail,

to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth.

12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning,

And to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

12 At that time the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

called you to weep and mourn.

He told you to shave your heads in sorrow for your sins

and to wear clothes of burlap to show your remorse.

12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts

Called for weeping and for mourning,

For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

12 The Lord God All-Powerful told the people

to cry and be sad,

to shave their heads and wear rough cloth.

12 And in that day did the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

12 And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;

12 On that day the Almighty Lord of Armies 

will call for crying and for mourning, 

for shaving your heads and for wearing sackcloth. 

12 On that day the Lord God of Hosts

called for weeping, for wailing, for shaven heads,

and for the wearing of sackcloth.

12 In that day the Lord God of hosts

called to weeping and mourning,

to baldness and putting on sackcloth;

12 And the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, called on that day

for weeping and mourning,

and for baldness and girding with sackcloth.

12 The Lord who rules over all

called out to you at that time.

The Lord told you to sob and cry.

He told you to tear your hair out.

And he told you to put black clothes on.

12 Therefore in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing,

To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.
