Joel 2:11-13

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ And Yahweh utters^[a] his voice before his army,
    because his encampment is very large;
strong is the one who carries out his decree,
    for great is the day of Yahweh
and exceedingly fearful.
    Who can endure it?

¹² “And even now,” declares^[b] Yahweh,
    “return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, and weeping, and wailing.”
¹³     Rend your hearts^[c] and not your garments,
and return to Yahweh your God,
    because he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger^[d] and great in loyal love,
    and relenting from harm.
