Joel 2:11-15

11The Lord 1utters His voice before 2His army; Surely His camp is very great, For 3strong is he who carries out His word. The 4day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, And 5who can endure it?12“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “6Return to Me with all your heart, And with 7fasting, weeping and mourning;13And 8rend your heart and not 9your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, For He is 10gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And 11relenting of evil.14Who knows 12whether He will not turn and relent And leave a 13blessing behind Him, Even 14a grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God?15 15Blow a trumpet in Zion, 16Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly,
