Joel 2:17-20

Joel 2:17-20

[17] Let the priests,  the ministers  of the LORD,  weep  between the porch  and the altar,  and let them say,  Spare  thy people,  O LORD,  and give  not thine heritage  to reproach,  that the heathen  should rule over  them: wherefore should they say  among the people,  Where is their God?  [18] Then will the LORD  be jealous  for his land,  and pity  his people.  [19] Yea, the LORD  will answer  and say  unto his people,  Behold, I will send  you corn,  and wine,  and oil,  and ye shall be satisfied  therewith: and I will no more make  you a reproach  among the heathen:  [20] But I will remove far off  from you the northern  army, and will drive  him into a land  barren  and desolate,  with his face  toward the east  sea,  and his hinder part  toward the utmost  sea,  and his stink  shall come up,  and his ill savour  shall come up,  because he hath done  great things.
