Joel 2:15 - The Message15-17 Blow the ram’s horn trumpet in Zion! Declare a day of repentance, a holy fast day. Call a public meeting. Get everyone there. Consecrate the congregation. Make sure the elders come, but bring in the children, too, even the nursing babies, Even men and women on their honeymoon— interrupt them and get them there. Between Sanctuary entrance and altar, let the priests, God’s servants, weep tears of repentance. Let them intercede: “Have mercy, God, on your people! Don’t abandon your heritage to contempt. Don’t let the pagans take over and rule them and sneer, ‘And so where is this God of theirs?’” * * * See the chapterMore versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 176915 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: See the chapterAmplified Bible - Classic Edition15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly.
