Joel 2:16-18
16Gather the people, 1sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants. Let the 2bridegroom come out of his room And the bride out of her bridal chamber.17Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers, Weep 3between the porch and the altar, And let them say, “4Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not make Your inheritance a 5reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, ‘6Where is their God?’”
18Then the Lord 7will be 8zealous for His land And 9will have 10pity on His people.
