Joel 2:12-14

New Life Version

A Call to Turn from Sin

¹² “Yet even now,” says the Lord, “return to Me with all your heart, crying in sorrow and eating no food. ¹³ Tear your heart and not your clothes.” Return to the Lord your God, for He is full of loving-kindness and loving-pity. He is slow to anger, full of love, and ready to keep His punishment from you. ¹⁴ It may be that He will turn and have pity, and leave good behind for you. He may leave you a grain gift and a drink gift for the Lord your God.
