TSK · Joel 1:8

At that time the Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies, called for weeping and mourning, for shaved heads and sackcloth.

Tremble, you complacent ones! Shake with fear, you carefree ones! Strip off your clothes and expose yourselves– put sackcloth on your waist!

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies told me to say to this people,“Take note of what I say. Call for the women who mourn for the dead! Summon those who are the most skilled at it!”

An Appeal for Repentance“Yet even now,” the LORD says,“return to me with all your heart– with fasting, weeping, and mourning.

No one who has even a small portion of the Spirit in him does this. What did our ancestor do when seeking a child from God? Be attentive, then, to your own spirit, for one should not be disloyal to the wife he took in his youth.

Warning to the Rich Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.
