Joel 2:14 CPDV

¹²  Now, therefore, the Lord says: 'Be converted to me with your whole heart, in fasting and weeping and mourning.'

¹³  And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and convert to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and merciful, patient and full of compassion, and steadfast despite ill will.

¹⁴  Who knows if he might convert and forgive, and bequeath a blessing after him, a sacrifice and a libation to the Lord your God?

¹⁵  Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call an assembly.

¹⁶  Gather the people, sanctify the church, unite the elders, gather together the little ones and infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom depart from his bed, and the bride from her bridal chamber.
