Joel 2:13

A Call To Repentance

¹² Yet even now, says LORD, turn ye to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. ¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents of the evil. ¹⁴ Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering to LORD your God?
