Joel 2:1-9

1BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and soundH7321 an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022; let allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 cometh, for it is nigh at handH7138;

2a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominess, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thickH6205 darknessH2822, as the dawnH7837 spreadH6566 uponH5921 the mountainsH2022; a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099, there hath notH3808 been everH5769 the like, neitherH3808 shall be anyH4480 moreH4480 afterH310 them, evenH5704 to the yearsH8141 of manyH7227 generationsH1755.

3A fireH784 devoureth beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burneth: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and noneH3808 hath escapedH6413 them.

4The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, soH3651 do they runH7323.

5Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 do they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devoureth the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH4421.

6At their presenceH6440 the peoplesH5971 are in anguishH2342: allH3605 facesH6440 are waxed paleH6289.

7They runH7323 like mightyH1368 menH376; they climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH376 of warH4421; and they march everyH376 one on his waysH1870, and they break notH3808 their ranks.

8NeitherH3808 doth one thrust anotherH251; they march everyH376 one in his pathH4546: and they burstH5307 throughH1157 the weaponsH7973, and breakH1214 notH3808 offH1214 their course.

9They leap uponH935 the cityH5892; they runH7323 uponH935 the wallH2346; they climbH5927 upH5927 intoH935 the housesH1004; they enterH935 in at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
