Joel 2:16

A Call To Repentance

¹⁵ Blow a trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn gathering. ¹⁶ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, gather the elders, gather the children and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her room. ¹⁷ Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Have pity on Your people, O Jehovah, and give not Your inheritance to shame, for a proverb among those of the nations. Why should they say among the people, Where is their God?
