Joel 2:13

A Call To Repentance

¹² Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn 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 unto Jehovah your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. ¹⁴ Who knoweth? He might return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God?
