Joel 1:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ Put on sackcloth and weep,
    you priests who serve at the altar!
Go into the Temple and mourn all night!
There is no grain or wine to offer your God.
¹⁴ Give orders for a fast;
    call an assembly!
Gather the leaders
    and all the people of Judah
    into the Temple of the Lord your God
    and cry out to him!
^15 (A)The day of the Lord is near,
    the day when the Almighty brings destruction.
    What terror that day will bring!
