Joel 2:11-13

Good News Translation

^11 (A)The Lord thunders commands to his army.
    The troops that obey him
    are many and mighty.
How terrible is the day of the Lord!
    Who will survive it?

¹² “But even now,” says the Lord,
    “repent sincerely and return to me
    with fasting and weeping and mourning.
¹³ Let your broken heart show your sorrow;
    tearing your clothes is not enough.”
