Majoring in the Minors – Joel 2:15-17

¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion;
 consecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
¹⁶ gather the people.
Consecrate the congregation;
 assemble the elders;
gather the children,
 even nursing infants.
Let the bridegroom leave his room,
 and the bride her chamber.
¹⁷ Between the vestibule and the altar
 let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
 and make not your heritage a reproach,
 a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
 ‘Where is their God?’”
