Friday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time

Gird yourselves and weep, O priests!
   wail, O ministers of the altar!
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
   O ministers of my God!
The house of your God is deprived
   of offering and libation.
Proclaim a fast,
   call an assembly;
Gather the elders,
   all who dwell in the land,
Into the house of the LORD, your God,
   and cry to the LORD!

   in awe of the LORD of hosts?
Rather must we call the proud blessed;

You forsook the Eternal God who nourished you,
