Joel 1:13-15

13 1Gird yourselves with sackcloth And lament, O priests; 2Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, 3spend the night in sackcloth O ministers of my God, For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.14 4Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a 5solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And 6cry out to the Lord.15 7Alas for the day! For the 8day of the Lord is near, And it will come as 9destruction from the 10Almighty.
