Joel 1:15

A Call To Lamentation

¹⁴ Consecrate a fast,
Proclaim a solemn assembly;
Gather the elders
And all the inhabitants of the land
To the house of the Lord your God,
And cry out to the Lord.
¹⁵ Alas for the day!
For the day of the Lord is near,
And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
¹⁶ Has not food been cut off before our eyes,
Gladness and joy from the house of our God?
