Joel 2:16 DBY

¹⁴  Who knoweth? He might return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God?

¹⁵  Blow the trumpet in Zion, hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly;

¹⁶  gather the people, hallow the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride from her closet.

¹⁷  Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare, O Jehovah, thy people, and give not thine inheritance to reproach, that they should be a byword of the nations. Wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

¹⁸  Then Jehovah will be jealous for his land, and will have pity on his people.
