Joel 2:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ Gather the people and make them holy. Gather together the leaders, the children, and the nursing babies. Let the man to be married come out of his room, and the bride come out of her room. ¹⁷ Let the religious leaders who serve the Lord cry between the porch and the altar. Let them say, “Have pity on Your people, O Lord. Do not put your people to shame. And do not make the nations speak against them. Why should the people of the nations say, ‘Where is their God?’”

The Lord Gives Food Again

¹⁸ Then the Lord will be jealous for His land and have pity on His people.
