"An Appeal for Repentance“Yet even now,” the LORD says,“return to me with all your heart– with fasting, weeping, and mourning."
— Joel 2:12, NET Bible
“Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:”
“Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: ”
“"Yet even now," says Yahweh, "turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."”
“Now, therefore, saith the Lord. Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and mourning.”
“But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:”
“Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:”
They rush into the city; they scale its walls. They climb up into the houses; they go in through the windows like a thief.
The earth quakes before them; the sky reverberates. The sun and the moon grow dark; the stars refuse to shine.
The voice of the LORD thunders as he leads his army. Indeed, his warriors are innumerable; Surely his command is carried out! Yes, the day of the LORD is awesome and very terrifying– who can survive it?
An Appeal for Repentance“Yet even now,” the LORD says,“return to me with all your heart– with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
Tear your hearts, not just your garments!” Return to the LORD your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and boundless in loyal love– often relenting from calamitous punishment.
Who knows? Perhaps he will be compassionate and grant a reprieve, and leave blessing in his wake– a meal offering and a drink offering for you to offer to the LORD your God!
Blow the trumpet in Zion. Announce a holy fast; proclaim a sacred assembly!
