Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army :
for his camp is very great :
for he is strong that executeth his word :
for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible ;
and who can abide it ?
*
Therefore also now ,
saith the LORD ,
turn ye even to me with all your heart ,
and with fasting ,
and with weeping ,
and with mourning :
*
And rend your heart ,
and not your garments ,
and turn unto the LORD your God :
for he is gracious and merciful ,
slow to anger ,
and of great kindness ,
and repenteth him of the evil .
*
Who knoweth if he will return and repent ,
and leave a blessing behind him ;
even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God ?
*
Blow the trumpet in Zion ,
sanctify a fast ,
call a solemn assembly :
*
Gather the people ,
sanctify the congregation ,
assemble the elders ,
gather the children ,
and those that suck the breasts :
let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber ,
and the bride out of her closet .
*
Let the priests ,
the ministers of the LORD ,
weep between the porch and the altar ,
and let them say ,
Spare thy people ,
O LORD ,
and give not thine heritage to reproach ,
that the heathen should rule over them :
wherefore should they say among the people ,
Where is their God ?
*
Then will the LORD be jealous for his land ,
and pity his people .
*
Yea ,
the LORD will answer and say unto his people ,
Behold ,
I will send you corn ,
and wine ,
and oil ,
and ye shall be satisfied therewith :
and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen :
*
But I will remove far off from you the northern army ,
and will drive him into a land barren and desolate ,
with his face toward the east sea ,
and his hinder part toward the utmost sea ,
and his stink shall come up ,
and his ill savour shall come up ,
because he hath done great things .
*
Fear not ,
O land ;
be glad and rejoice :
for the LORD will do great things .
*
Be not afraid ,
ye beasts of the field :
for the pastures of the wilderness do spring ,
for the tree beareth her fruit ,
the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength .
*
Be glad then ,
ye children of Zion ,
and rejoice in the LORD your God :
for he hath given you the former rain moderately ,
and he will cause to come down for you the rain ,
the former rain ,
and the latter rain in the first month .
*
And the floors shall be full of wheat ,
and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil .
*
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten ,
the cankerworm ,
and the caterpiller ,
and the palmerworm ,
my great army which I sent among you .
