Joel 1:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 Priests, put on your rough cloth and cry to show your sadness.
Servants of the altar, cry out loud.
Servants of my God,
sleep in your rough cloth to show your sadness.
Cry because there will be no more grain or drink offerings
to offer in the Temple of your God.
14 Call the people together.
Tell them there will be a time to give up food.
Bring together the elders
and everyone who lives in the land.
Bring them to the Temple of the Lord your God.
And cry out to the Lord.
15 This will be a terrible day!
The Lord’s day of judging is near.
At that time punishment will come
like an attack from God All-Powerful.

A Call to Lamentation
13 Put on sackcloth,(A) you priests, and mourn;
wail, you who minister(B) before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings(C)
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;(D)
call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
and all who live in the land(E)
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out(F) to the Lord.(G)
