Joel 2:13 In-Context

11 And Yahweh {utters} his voice before his army, because his encampment [is] very large; strong [is the] one who carries out his decree, for great [is] the day of Yahweh and exceedingly fearful. Who can endure it?
12 "And even now," {declares} Yahweh, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, and weeping, and wailing."
13 Rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to Yahweh your God, because he [is] gracious and compassionate, {slow to anger} and great in loyal love, and relenting from harm.
14 Who knows [whether] he will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, an offering and a libation, for Yahweh your God?
15 Blow [the] trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call an assembly;
