Joel 2:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation: gather the elders: assemble the [a]children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her bride chamber.
17 Let the Priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage into reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. (A)Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
