Joel 2:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Tearing your clothes is not enough to show you are sad.
    Let your heart be broken.
Come back to the Lord your God.
    He is kind and shows mercy.
He doesn’t become angry quickly.
    He has great love.
    He would rather forgive than punish.
¹⁴ Who knows? Maybe the Lord will change his mind
    and leave behind a blessing for you.
Then you may give grain and drink offerings
    to the Lord your God.

¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Jerusalem.
    Call for a special time of going without food.
    Call for a special meeting.
