Joel 2:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ The priests, the Lord’s servants, should cry.
    They should cry between the altar and entrance to the Temple.
They should say, “Lord, have mercy on your people.
    Don’t let them be put to shame.
    Don’t let other nations make fun of them.
Don’t let people in other nations ask,
    ‘Where is their God?’”

¹⁸ Then the Lord became concerned about his land.
    He felt sorry for his people.
¹⁹ The Lord said to them:
    “I will send you grain, wine and olive oil.
    You will have plenty.
No more will I shame you
    among the nations.
