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?

A Call to Repentance

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.”

Come back to the Lord your God.
    He is kind and full of mercy;
    he is patient and keeps his promise;
    he is always ready to forgive and not punish.
