Joel 2:13-15
Contemporary English Version
Joel 2:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 Don't rip your clothes
to show your sorrow.
Instead, turn back to me
with broken hearts.
I am merciful, kind, and caring.
I don't easily lose my temper,
and I don't like to punish.
14 I am the Lord your God.
Perhaps I will change my mind
and treat you with mercy.
Then you will be blessed
with enough grain and wine
for offering sacrifices to me.
15 Sound the trumpet on Zion!
Call the people together.
Show your sorrow
by going without food.
Joel 2:13-15

Joel 2:13-15
New International Version
13 Rend your heart(A)
and not your garments.(B)
Return(C) to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,(D)
slow to anger and abounding in love,(E)
and he relents from sending calamity.(F)
14 Who knows? He may turn(G) and relent(H)
and leave behind a blessing(I)—
grain offerings and drink offerings(J)
for the Lord your God.
