Joel 2:16-18
16Gather the people, 1sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants. Have the 2groom 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, “45Spare Your people, Lord, And do not make Your inheritance a 6disgrace, With the nations jeering at them. Why should those among the peoples say, ‘7Where is their God?’”
18Then the Lord 8will be 9zealous for His land, And 10will have 11compassion for His people.
