Joel 2:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹²“Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“^(A)Return to Me with all your heart,
And with ^(B)fasting, weeping, and mourning;
¹³And ^(C)tear your heart and not merely ^(D)your garments.”
Now return to the Lord your God,
For He is ^(E)gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in mercy
And ^(F)relenting of catastrophe.
¹⁴Who knows, ^(G)He might turn and relent,
And leave a ^(H)blessing behind Him,
Resulting in ^(I)a grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God.
