And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the law will go forth from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

On the hills of Ephraim call out,
‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’”
The wicked commanded to seek:

Call upon Him while He is near.

And with fasting, weeping and mourning;
