Joel 2:13

A Call To Repentance

¹² Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn unto me with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping, and with mourning: ¹³ And rend your heart and not your garments.”
Now return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness
And relenting of evil.
¹⁴ Who knows if he will return and repent and leave a blessing behind him even a present and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
