Joel 2:15-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast! Call a solemn assembly,

¹⁶ gather the people! Sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her retreat.

¹⁷ 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.Why should they say among the people, ‘Where is their God?’”
