Of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem

To worship the King, the Lord of hosts,

Even upon them shall be no rain.

There shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen

That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

This shall be the punishment of Egypt,

And the punishment of all nations

That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
