Joel 2:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Rip the wickedness out of your hearts; don’t just tear your clothing.

Now return to the Eternal, your True God.
    You already know He is gracious and compassionate.
He does not anger easily and maintains faithful love.
    He is willing to relent and not harm you.
¹⁴Who knows? Perhaps He will turn and relieve you of this threat,
    and leave behind some blessing as He goes—
Maybe enough grain and wine to offer
    to the Eternal, your True God?
¹⁵Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a time for fasting;
    tell everyone to be still and stop working.
