Joel 2:11-13
International Children’s Bible
11 The Lord calls out orders loudly
as he leads his army.
That army obeys his commands.
It is very large and powerful.
The Lord’s day of judging
is an overwhelming and terrible day.
No one can stand up against it.
Change Your Hearts
12 The Lord says, “Now, come back to me with all your heart.
Go without food, and cry and be sad.”
13 Tearing your clothes is not enough to show you are sad.
Let your heart be broken.
Come back to the Lord your God.
He is kind and shows mercy.
He doesn’t become angry quickly.
He has great love.
He would rather forgive than punish.
Joel 2:11-13
New International Version
11 The Lord(A) thunders(B)
at the head of his army;(C)

Who can endure it?(E)
