Joel 2

A Call to Repentance

12 "Now, therefore," says the Lord,

*(Deut. 4:29); Jer. 4:1; Ezek. 33:11; Hos. 12:6; 14:1"Turn to Me with all your heart,

With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."

13 So *(Ps. 34:18; 51:17; Is. 57:15)rend your heart, and not *Gen. 37:34; 2 Sam. 1:11; Job 1:20; Jer. 41:5your garments;

Return to the Lord your God,

For He is*(Ex. 34:6)gracious and merciful,

Slow to anger, and of great kindness;

And He relents from doing harm.
