Joel 2:1-15

11BlowH8628 a trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, And soundH7321 an alarmH7321 on My holyH6944 mountainH2022! Let allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264, For the 2dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is comingH935; SurelyH3588 it is nearH7138,2A dayH3117 of 3darknessH2822 and gloomH653, A dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thickH6205 darknessH6205. As the dawnH7837 is spreadH6566 overH5921 the mountainsH2022, So there is a 4greatH7227 and mightyH6099 peopleH5971; There has 5neverH3808H4480H5769 beenH1961 anything likeH3644 it, NorH3808 will there be againH3254 afterH310 it To the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.3A 6fireH784 consumesH398 beforeH6440 them And behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnsH3857. The landH776 is 7like the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them But a 8desolateH8077 wildernessH4057 behindH310 them, And nothingH3808 at allH1571 escapesH6413 them.4Their 9appearanceH4758 is like the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; And like war horsesH6571, soH3651 they runH7323.510With a 11noiseH6963 as of chariotsH4818 They leapH7540 on the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, Like the 12cracklingH6963 of a 13flameH3851 of fireH784 consumingH398 the stubbleH7179, Like a mightyH6099 peopleH5971 arrangedH6186 for battleH4421.6BeforeH4480H6440 them the peopleH5971 are in 14anguishH2342; AllH3605 15facesH6440 16turnH6908 paleH6289.7They runH7323 like mightyH1368 menH1368, They climbH5927 the wallH2346 like soldiersH582H4421; And they eachH376 17marchH1980 18in lineH1870, NorH3808 do they deviateH5670 from their pathsH734.8They do not crowdH1766 eachH376 otherH251, They marchH1980 everyoneH1397 in his pathH4546; When they 19burstH5307 throughH1157 the 20defensesH7973, They do not breakH1214 ranksH1214.9They rushH8264 on the cityH5892, They runH7323 on the wallH2346; They climbH5927 into the 21housesH1004, They 22enterH935 throughH1157 the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.10BeforeH6440 them the earthH776 23quakesH7264, The heavensH8064 trembleH7493, The 24sunH8121 and the moonH3394 growH6937 darkH6937 And the starsH3556 loseH622 their brightnessH5051.11The LordH3068 25uttersH5414 His voiceH6963 beforeH6440 26His armyH2428; SurelyH3588 His campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227, For 27strongH6099 is he who carriesH6213 out His wordH1697. The 28dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is indeedH3588 greatH1419 and veryH3966 awesomeH3372, And 29who can endureH3557 it?12“Yet evenH1571 nowH6258,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “30ReturnH7725 to Me with allH3605 your heartH3824, And with 31fastingH6685, weepingH1065 and mourningH4553;13And 32rendH7167 your heartH3824 and not 33your garmentsH899.” Now returnH7725 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, For He is 34graciousH2587 and compassionateH7349, SlowH750 to angerH639, aboundingH7227 in lovingkindnessH2617 And 35relentingH5162 of evilH7463.14WhoH4310 knowsH3045 36whether He will not turnH7725 and relentH5162 And leaveH7604 a 37blessingH1293 behindH310 Him, Even 38a grain offeringH4503 and a drinkH5262 offeringH5262 For the LordH3068 your GodH430?1539BlowH8628 a trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, 40ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685, proclaimH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116,
