Therefore also now,
says the LORD,
turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
All Commentaries on Joel 2:12 Go To Joel 2
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Mourning: For moving the heart to repentance these external works are requisite, at least in will: if they be wilfully omitted, it is a sure sign that the heart is not moved. (St. Jerome) (Worthington)
