Joel 2:12-14

Return to the Lord

12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
^a“return to me with all your heart,
^bwith fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13 and ^crend your hearts and not ^dyour garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
^efor he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
^fand he relents over disaster.
14 ^gWho knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and ^hleave a blessing behind him,
ⁱa grain offering and a drink offering
for the Lord your God?
