Joel 2:16 in Context — Joel 2
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.
16 Reuni o povo, santificai a congregação, juntai os anciãos, reuni as crianças e os que mamam; saia o noivo de seu cômodo, e a noiva de seu quarto.
17 Os sacerdotes, trabalhadores do SENHOR, chorem entre o pórtico e o altar, e digam: Poupa a teu povo, SENHOR, e não entregues tua herança à humilhação, para que as nações a dominem. Por que entre os povos diriam: Onde está o Deus deles?
18 Então o SENHOR terá zelo por sua terra, e poupará a seu povo.
