nkjv Joel:2:12-17 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Now ,
therefore ,"
says the LORD , "
Turn to Me with all your heart ,
With fasting ,
with weeping ,
and with mourning ."
*
So rend your heart ,
and not your garments ;
Return to the LORD your God ,
For He is gracious and merciful ,
Slow to anger ,
and of great kindness ;
And He relents from doing harm .
*
Who knows if He will turn and relent ,
And leave a blessing behind Him --
A grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God ?
*
Blow the trumpet in Zion ,
Consecrate a fast ,
Call a sacred assembly ;
*
Gather the people ,
Sanctify the congregation ,
Assemble the elders ,
Gather the children and nursing babes ;
Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber ,
And the bride from her dressing room .
*
Let the priests ,
who minister to the LORD ,
Weep between the porch and the altar ;
Let them say , "
Spare Your people ,
O LORD ,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach ,
That the nations should rule over them .
Why should they say among the peoples , "
Where is their God ?"'
