44Then was the Congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battell, and that they might pray, and aske mercy and compassion. 45Now Ierusalem lay voide as a wildernesse, there was none of her children that went in or out: the Sanctuarie also was troden downe, and aliens kept the strong holde: the heathen had their habitation in that place, and ioy was taken from Iacob, and the pipe with the harpe ceased. 46Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselues together, and came to Maspha ouer-against Ierusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel. 47Then they fasted that day, and put on sackecloth, and cast ashes vpon their heads, and rent their clothes: 48And laide open the booke of the Law, wherein þe heathen had sought to paint the likenesse of their images.
