Joel 2:15-17 (Listen)

• Joel 1
• Joel 2
• Joel 3

15 rBlow the trumpet in Zion;

sconsecrate a fast;

call a solemn assembly;

16 gather the people.

tConsecrate the congregation;

assemble the elders;

ugather the children,

even nursing infants.

vLet the bridegroom leave his room,

and the bride her chamber.

17 wBetween the xvestibule and the yaltar

zlet the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep

and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,

and make not your heritage a reproach,

a byword among the nations.1

aWhy should they say among the peoples,

‘Where is their God?’”
