## Joel 2:15-16 in Context (Verses 12–19 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/joel/2/12) ¶ Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye *even* to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/joel/2/13) And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he *is* gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/joel/2/14) Who knoweth *if* he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; *even* a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/joel/2/15) ¶ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/joel/2/16) Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/joel/2/17) 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 to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where *is* their God?*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/joel/2/18) ¶ Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/joel/2/19) Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
 
[Joel 1](/kjv/joel/1) [Joel 3](/kjv/joel/3)
