| Joel 1:14 | *Sanctify ye a fast, call an assembly, gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God: and cry ye to the Lord: Joel 2:15. | Sanctify. Appoint (Haydock) or proclaim a general fast, as was usual in such emergencies, 3 Kings 21:9., and 2 Paralipomenon 20:3. Fasting and other good works are calculated to appease God's wrath.
