Joel 2:12-17

12Yet even nowH6258, saith Jehovah, turnH7725 ye unto me with all your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553: 13and rend your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto Jehovah your GodH430; for he is graciousH2587 and merciful, slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repenteth him of the evilH7451. 14Who knoweth whether he will not turnH7725 and repent, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto Jehovah your GodH430?

15BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116; 16gatherH6908 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the assemblyH6951, assemble the oldH2205 men, gatherH6908 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699; let the bridegroom goH3318 forthH3318 from his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closet. 17Let the priestsH3548, the ministers of Jehovah, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, Spare thy peopleH5971, O Jehovah, and giveH5414 not thy heritage to reproachH2781, that the nationsH1471 should ruleH4910 over them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peoplesH5971, WhereH346 is their GodH430?
