Yeremia 7:5

7:5 You must change¹ the way you have been living and do what is right. You must treat one another fairly.²

Yoel 2:12-14

An Appeal for Repentance

2:12 “Yet even now,” the Lord says,

“return to me with all your heart –

with fasting, weeping, and mourning.

Tear your hearts,³

not just your garments!”

2:13 Return to the Lord your God,

for he is merciful and compassionate,

slow to anger and boundless in loyal love⁴ – often relenting from calamitous punishment.⁵

2:14 Who knows?

Perhaps he will be compassionate and grant a reprieve,⁶

and leave blessing in his wake⁷ –

a meal offering and a drink offering for you to offer to the Lord your God!⁸
