Joel 2:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ Let the priests, who minister before the Lord,
    weep between the temple porch and the altar.
    Let them say:
        Have compassion on your people, O Lord.
        Do not subject the inheritance you have given us to the scorn of the nations.
        Do not make us notorious among the nations as an object of ridicule.^[a]
        Why should they say among the peoples,
        “Where is their God?”

¹⁸ The Lord is zealous for his land,
    and he will take pity on his people.
¹⁹ The Lord will respond to them:
        I am sending you grain, new wine, and fresh oil,
        enough to satisfy you fully.
        Never again will I subject you to scorn among the nations.
