TSK · Joel 1:14

You are standing today, all of you, before the LORD your God– the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officials, every Israelite man,

All the men of Judah were standing before the LORD, along with their infants, wives, and children.

Those truly of Israelite descent separated from all the foreigners, standing and confessing their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.

All the people living in Jerusalem and all the people who came into Jerusalem from the towns of Judah came to observe a fast before the LORD. The fast took place in the ninth month of the fifth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.

Every person and animal must put on sackcloth and must cry earnestly to God, and everyone must turn from their evil way of living and from the violence that they do.
