Joe 2:17 | HCSB | STEP | Let the priests , the Lord ’s ministers , weep between the portico and the altar . Let them say : “Have pity on Your people , Lord , and do not make Your inheritance a disgrace , an object of scorn among the nations . Why should it be said among the peoples , ‘Where is their God ?’”
