Joel 2:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴Who knows? He will turn back and relent, will he not,
leaving behind a blessing,
even a grain offering and drink offering for the Lord your God?”

A Public Call to a Solemn Assembly

¹⁵“Sound the ram’s horn in Zion!
    Dedicate a fast and call for a solemn assembly!
¹⁶Gather the people!
    Dedicate the congregation!
Bring in the elders.
    Gather the youngsters
        and even the nursing infants.
Call the bridegroom from his wedding preparations,^[a]
    and the bride from her dressing room.
