Joel 2:11-13

New Life Version

¹¹ The Lord thunders in front of His army. His army has too many to number. Those who obey His Word are powerful. The day of the Lord is very great and fills people with fear and wonder. Who can live through it?

A Call to Turn from Sin

¹² “Yet even now,” says the Lord, “return to Me with all your heart, crying in sorrow and eating no food. ¹³ Tear your heart and not your clothes.” Return to the Lord your God, for He is full of loving-kindness and loving-pity. He is slow to anger, full of love, and ready to keep His punishment from you.
