A Call To Repentance

14 May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God? 15 Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting: 16 Get the people together, make the mass of the people holy, send for the old men, get together the children and babies at the breast: let the newly married man come out of his room and the bride from her tent.
