Joel 2:17 CPDV

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.

¹⁷  Between the vestibule and the altar, the priests, the ministers of the Lord, will weep, and they will say: 'Spare, O Lord, spare your people. And do not bequeath your inheritance into disgrace, so that the nations would rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?' '

¹⁸  The Lord has been zealous for his land, and he has spared his people.

¹⁹  And the Lord responded, and he said to his people: 'Behold, I will send you grain and wine and oil, and you will again be filled with them. And I will no longer give you disgrace among the Gentiles.
