15Blow the trumpet in Jerusalem;

call for a day when everyone fasts.

Tell everyone to stop work.

16Bring the people together

and make the meeting holy for the Lord.

Bring together the elders,

as well as the children,

and even babies that still feed at their mothers’ breasts.

The bridegroom should come from his room,

the bride from her bedroom.
