Joel 2:15-17

15 ^aBlow the trumpet in Zion;
^bconsecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
16 gather the people.
^cConsecrate the congregation;
assemble the elders;
^dgather the children,
even nursing infants.
^eLet the bridegroom leave his room,
and the bride her chamber.
17 ^fBetween the ^gvestibule and the ^haltar
ⁱlet the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
and make not your heritage a reproach,
a byword among the nations. ^{▼▼Or reproach, that the nations should rule over them}
^kWhy should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”
