Joel 2:15-18

15Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly;

16gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.

17Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, "Spare your people, O Lord, and make not your heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"

18Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had pity on his people.
