Joel 1:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Dress for a funeral and grieve, you priests;
        lament, ministers of the altar.
    Come, spend the night in funeral clothing, servants of my God,
    because the grain offering and the drink offering
        have gone from the temple of your God.
¹⁴ Demand a fast,
        request a special assembly.
    Gather the elders
        and all the land’s people
        to the temple of the Lord your God,
            and cry out to the Lord.

¹⁵ What a terrible day!
    The day of the Lord is near;
        it comes like chaos from the Almighty.^[a]
