Joel 2:16-18

Joel 2:16-18 CSB

Gather the people; sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; , gather the infants, even babies nursing at the breast. Let the groom leave his bedroom, and the bride her honeymoon chamber. Let the priests, the LORD’s ministers, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, “Have pity on your people, LORD, and do not make your inheritance a disgrace, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples, ‘Where is their God? ’ ” Then the LORD became jealous for his land and spared his people.
