Joel 2:16

A Call To Repentance

¹⁵ Blow a trumpet in Zion, proclaim fasting and call a congregation. ¹⁶ Gather the people together; bring the elders to one place; gather the young children and they that suck the breasts, together. Let the bridegroom come out of his chamber and the bride out of her parlour. ¹⁷ Let the priests that minister unto the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and say, "Spare, Lord, thy people: and deliver not thine heritage unto rebuke that the heathen should reign over them. Why should they say among the nations, 'Where is their God?'"
