11 The Lord thunders with his mighty voice
    as he leads his army.
He has so many forces they can’t even be counted.
    The army that obeys his commands is mighty.
The day of the Lord is great and terrifying.
    Who can live through it?

Let Your Hearts Be Broken

12 The Lord announces to his people,

“Return to me with all your heart.
    There is still time.
Do not eat any food.
    Weep and mourn.”

13 Don’t just tear your clothes to show how sad you are.
    Let your hearts be broken.
Return to the Lord your God.
    He is gracious.
    He is tender and kind.
He is slow to get angry.
    He is full of love.
He won’t bring his judgment.
    He won’t destroy you.
