Joel 2
10 Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.
11 The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?
12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”
13 So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And He relents from sending disaster.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him—grain and drink offerings for the LORD your God.
