Joel 2:12

A Call To Repentance

¹¹ And Jehovah gave his voice before the face of his strength: for exceedingly great his camp, and strong he doing his word: for great the day of Jehovah, and exceedingly terrible; and who shall endure it? ¹² And also now, says Jehovah, Turn back even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping and with wailing. ¹³ And rend your heart and not your garments, and turn back to Jehovah your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, slow of anger and of much kindness, and lamenting on account of the evil.
