Joel 2:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Joel 2:11

9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They ^aenter at the windows ^blike a thief.

10 ^aThe earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
^bThe sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.

11 ^aThe Lord gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
^bFor strong is the One who executes His word.
For the ^cday of the Lord is great and very terrible;
^dWho can endure it?

A Call to Repentance

12 “Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
^a“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”

13 So ^arend your heart, and not ^byour garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is ^cgracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.

14 ^aWho knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave ^ba blessing behind Him—
^cA grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God?

15 ^aBlow the¹ trumpet in Zion,
^bConsecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
