Joel 1:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ Put on your sackcloth and mourn, you priests.
Cry loudly, you servants of the altar.
Spend the night in sackcloth, you servants of my God.
Grain offerings and wine offerings
are withheld from your God’s temple.
¹⁴ Schedule a time to fast!
Call for an assembly!
Gather the leaders and everyone who lives in the land.
Bring them to the temple of the Lord your God,
and cry to the Lord for help.

¹⁵ This will be a terrible day!
The day of the Lord is near,
and it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
