Joel 2:12-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹²Yet even now, says the Lord,
    return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;^(A)
¹³    rend your hearts and not your clothing.
Return to the Lord your God,
    for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love,
    and relenting from punishment.^(B)
