4 The roads to Zion mourn,
for none come to lthe festival;
mall her gates are desolate;
her priests ngroan;
her virgins have been afflicted,1
and she herself suffers bitterly.
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
18 I will gather those of you who mourn pfor the festival,
so that you will no longer suffer reproach.1
