2:12 Therefore also now, saith5002 the LORD3068, turn7725 ye {even} to me with all your heart3824, and with fasting6685, and with weeping1065, and with mourning4553: 2:13 And rend7167 your heart3824, and not your garments0899, and turn7725 unto the LORD3068 your God0430: for he {is} gracious2587 and merciful7349, slow0750 to anger0639, and of great7227 kindness2617, and repenteth5162 him of the evil7451. 2:14 Who knoweth3045 {if} he will return7725 and repent5162, and leave7604 a blessing1293 behind0310 him; {even} a meat offering4503 and a drink offering5262 unto the LORD3068 your God0430? 2:15 Blow8628 the trumpet7782 in Zion6726, sanctify6942 a fast6685, call7121 a solemn assembly6116: 2:16 Gather0622 the people5971, sanctify6942 the congregation6951, assemble6908 the elders2205, gather0622 the children5768, and those that suck3243 the breasts7699: let the bridegroom2860 go forth3318 of his chamber2315, and the bride3618 out of her closet2646. 2:17 Let the priests3548, the ministers8334 of the LORD3068, weep1058 between the porch0197 and the altar4196, and let them say0559, Spare2347 thy people5971, O LORD3068, and give5414 not thine heritage5159 to reproach2781, that the heathen1471 should rule over4910 them: wherefore should they say0559 among the people5971, Where {is} their God0430? 2:18 Then will the LORD3068 be jealous7065 for his land0776, and pity2550 his people5971. 2:19 Yea, the LORD3068 will answer6030 and say0559 unto his people5971, Behold, I will send7971 you corn1715, and wine8492, and oil3323, and ye shall be satisfied7646 therewith: and I will no more make5414 you a reproach2781 among the heathen1471: 2:20 But I will remove far off7368 from you the northern6830 {army}, and will drive5080 him into a land0776 barren6723 and desolate8077, with his face6440 toward the east6931 sea3220, and his hinder part5490 toward the utmost0314 sea3220, and his stink0889 shall come up5927, and his ill savour6709 shall come up5927, because he hath done6213 great things1431. 2:21 Fear3372 not, O land0127; be glad1523 and rejoice8055: for the LORD3068 will do6213 great things1431. 2:22 Be not afraid3372, ye beasts0929 of the field7704: for the pastures4999 of the wilderness4057 do spring1876, for the tree6086 beareth5375 her fruit6529, the fig tree8384 and the vine1612 do yield5414 their strength2428. 2:23 Be glad1523 then, ye children1121 of Zion6726, and rejoice8055 in the LORD3068 your God0430: for he hath given5414 you the former rain4175 moderately6666, and he will cause to come down3381 for you the rain1653, the former rain4175, and the latter rain4456 in the first7223 {month}. 2:24 And the floors1637 shall be full4390 of wheat1250, and the fats3342 shall overflow7783 with wine8492 and oil3323. 2:25 And I will restore7999 to you the years8141 that the locust0697 hath eaten0398, the cankerworm3218, and the caterpiller2625, and the palmerworm1501, my great1419 army2428 which I sent7971 among you. 2:26 And ye shall eat0398 in plenty0398, and be satisfied7646, and praise1984 the name8034 of the LORD3068 your God0430, that hath dealt6213 wondrously6381 with you: and my people5971 shall never5769 be ashamed0954. 2:27 And ye shall know3045 that I {am} in the midst7130 of Israel3478, and {that} I {am} the LORD3068 your God0430, and none else: and my people5971 shall never5769 be ashamed0954. 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward0310, {that} I will pour out8210 my spirit7307 upon all flesh1320; and your sons1121 and your daughters1323 shall prophesy5012, your old men2205 shall dream2492 dreams2472, your young men0970 shall see7200 visions2384: 2:29 And also upon the servants5650 and upon the handmaids8198 in those days3117 will I pour out8210 my spirit7307. 2:30 And I will shew5414 wonders4159 in the heavens8064 and in the earth0776, blood1818, and fire0784, and pillars8490 of smoke6227. 2:31 The sun8121 shall be turned2015 into darkness2822, and the moon3394 into blood1818, before6440 the great1419 and the terrible3372 day3117 of the LORD3068 come0935. 2:32 And it shall come to pass, {that} whosoever shall call7121 on the name8034 of the LORD3068 shall be delivered4422: for in mount2022 Zion6726 and in Jerusalem3389 shall be deliverance6413, as the LORD3068 hath said0559, and in the remnant8300 whom the LORD3068 shall call7121.
