New King James Version
Joel 2:16-18
New King James Version
16 Gather the people,
(A)Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
(B)Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room.
17 Let the priests, who minister to the Lord,
Weep (C)between the porch and the altar;
Let them say, (D)“Spare Your people, O Lord,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should [a]rule over them.
(E)Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”
The Land Refreshed(F)
18 Then the Lord will (G)be zealous for His land,
And pity His people.
