Joel has a message from Yahweh: “Even now,” declares the LORD [Yahweh], “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning” . . . Return to the LORD [Yahweh] your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing.
