Joel 2:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ The Lord shouts at the head of his army.
    His forces are very numerous,
    and those who obey his command are powerful.
    The Day of the Lord is great. It is terrifying.
    Who can endure it?

¹² Even now, declares the Lord,
    return to me with all your heart,
    with fasting and weeping and grief.
¹³ Tear your heart and not your clothing.
    Return to the Lord your God,
    for he is gracious and compassionate,
    slow to anger and abounding in mercy,
    and he relents from sending disaster.
