Joel 2:13 in Context — Joel 2
11 E o SENHOR levanta sua voz diante de seu exército; porque suas tropas são muito grandes; porque forte é aquele que cumpre sua palavra; porque o dia do SENHOR é grande, e muito terrível; quem poderá o suportar?
12 Por isso agora o SENHOR diz: Convertei-vos a mim com todo o vosso coração, com jejum, choro e pranto.
13 Rasgai vosso coração, e não vossas vestes.Convertei-vos ao SENHOR vosso Deus, porque ele é piedoso e misericordioso, que demora para se irar, e é grande em bondade, e que se arrepende de castigar.
14 Quem sabe talvez ele volte atrás e se arrependa, e deixe após si uma bênção, uma oferta de alimento de de bebida ao SENHOR vosso Deus?
15 Tocai a trombeta em Sião, santificai um jejum, convocai uma reunião solene.
