Joel 2:11-15

11The Lord 1utters His voice before 2His army; His camp is indeed very great, For 3mighty is one 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 8tear your heart and not merely 9your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, For He is 10gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in mercy And 11relenting of catastrophe.14Who knows, 12He might turn and relent, And leave a 13blessing behind Him, Resulting in 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,
