New Testament

Joel 2:11-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. The Lord has sounded His voicebefore His army,for His camp is exceedingly great;mighty is the one who accomplishes His word.For great is the day of the Lord,and very awe-inspiring.Who can endure it?

12. Yet even now, declares the Lord,return to Me with all your heart,and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning.

13. Rend your heart,and not your garments;return to the Lord your God,for He is gracious and merciful,slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;and He relents from punishing.

14. Who knows? He might turn aside and relent,and He might leave behind a blessing—a grain offering and a food offeringfor the Lord your God.
