Verse 14 is found in chapter 1 of Joel. The priests are given responsibility for calling a fast and solemn assembly. The agricultural crisis thus becomes a spiritual crisis requiring gathering, humility, and seeking God. The expression “day of the Lord” expands the meaning of the disaster and presents it as a manifestation of divine intervention.

Heiliget ein Fasten, rufet die Gemeinde zusammen; versammelt die Ältesten und alle Einwohner des Landes zum Hause des HERRN, eures Gottes, und schreit zum HERRN!
Pregonad ayuno, llamad a congregación; congregad los ancianos y todos los moradores de la tierra en la casa de Jehová vuestro Dios, y clamad a Jehová.
Consagren un ayuno, convoquen una asamblea; reúnan a los ancianos, a todos los habitantes de la tierra, en la casa de Jehová su Dios, y clamen a Jehová.
Publiez un jeûne, une convocation solennelle! Assemblez les vieillards, tous les habitants du pays, Dans la maison de l'Eternel, votre Dieu, Et criez à l'Eternel!
Santificate il digiuno, bandite la solenne raunanza, radunate gli anziani, e tutti gli abitanti del paese, nella Casa del Signore Iddio vostro, e gridate al Signore:
Santificai um jejum, convocai uma assembléia solene, congregai os anciãos, e todos os moradores desta terra, na casa do SENHOR vosso Deus, e clamai ao SENHOR.
你們要使禁食的日子分別為聖, 宣告嚴肅會, 召集長老和這地所有的居民 來到耶和華-你們上帝的殿, 向耶和華哀求。
