Joel 1:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
A Call to Repentance and Prayer
13 Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests;
wail, you ministers of the altar.
Come, pass the night in sackcloth,
you ministers of my God!
Grain offering and drink offering
are withheld from the house of your God.(A)
14 Consecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly.
Gather the elders
and all the inhabitants of the land
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out to the Lord.(B)
15 Alas for the day!
For the day of the Lord is near,
and as destruction from the Almighty[a] it comes.(C)
