Joel 2:12-14
Names of God Bible
The Lord Invites the People to Return to Him
12 “But even now,” declares Yahweh,
“return to me with all your heart—
with fasting, crying, and mourning.”
13 Tear your hearts, not your clothes.
Return to Yahweh your Elohim.
He is merciful and compassionate,
patient, and always ready to forgive
and to change his plans about disaster.
14 Who knows?
He may reconsider and change his plan
and leave a blessing for you.
Then you could give grain offerings and wine offerings
to Yahweh your Elohim.
Joel 2:12-14

“return(A) to me with all your heart,(B)
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
13 Rend your heart(C)

and he relents from sending calamity.(H)
14 Who knows? He may turn(I) and relent(J)
and leave behind a blessing(K)—
grain offerings and drink offerings(L)
for the Lord your God.
