updv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow(note:){+}(:note) the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is near at hand;

updv@Joel:2:2 @ a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread on the mountains; a great and a strong people; there has not ever been the like, neither will [there] be anymore after them, even to the years of many generations.

updv@Joel:2:3 @ A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has escaped them.

updv@Joel:2:4 @ The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.

updv@Joel:2:5 @ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

updv@Joel:2:6 @ At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.

updv@Joel:2:7 @ They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and they do not proceed in a confused manner on their way.

updv@Joel:2:8 @ Neither does one thrust another; they march every [able-bodied] man in his path; and they burst through the weapons, and don't break off [their course].

updv@Joel:2:9 @ They leap on the city; they run on the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.

updv@Joel:2:10 @ The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

updv@Joel:2:11 @ And Yahweh utters his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for he is strong that executes his word; for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome; and who can endure it?

updv@Joel:2:12 @ Yet even now, says Yahweh, turn(note:){+}(:note) to me with all your{+} heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

updv@Joel:2:13 @ and rend your(note:){+}(:note) heart, and not your{+} garments, and turn to Yahweh your{+} God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness, and repents of the evil.

updv@Joel:2:14 @ Who knows whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering to Yahweh your(note:){+}(:note) God?

updv@Joel:2:15 @ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly;

updv@Joel:2:16 @ gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those who are nursed by the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

updv@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O Yahweh, and don't give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

updv@Joel:2:18 @ Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.

updv@Joel:2:19 @ And Yahweh answered and said to his people, Look, I will send you(note:){+}(:note) grain, and new wine, and oil, and you{+} will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you{+} a reproach among the nations;

updv@Joel:2:20 @ but I will remove far off from you(note:){+}(:note) the northern [army], and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, its forepart into the eastern sea, and its hinder part into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its ill savor will come up, because it has done great things.

updv@Joel:2:21 @ Don't be afraid, O land, be glad and rejoice; for Yahweh has done great things.

updv@Joel:2:22 @ Don't be afraid, you(note:){+}(:note) beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree bears its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine yield their strength.

updv@Joel:2:23 @ Be glad then, you(note:){+}(:note) sons of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh your{+} God; for he gives you{+} the former rain in just measure, and he causes to come down for you{+} the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first [month].

updv@Joel:2:24 @ And the floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

updv@Joel:2:25 @ And I will restore to you(note:){+}(:note) the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you{+}.

updv@Joel:2:26 @ And you(note:){+}(:note) will eat in plenty and be satisfied, and will praise the name of Yahweh your{+} God, that has dealt wondrously with you{+}; and my people will never be put to shame.

updv@Joel:2:27 @ And you(note:){+}(:note) will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahweh your{+} God, and there is no other; and my people will never be put to shame.

updv@Joel:2:28 @ And it will come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your(note:){+}(:note) sons and your{+} daughters will prophesy, your{+} old men will dream dreams, your{+} young men will see visions:

updv@Joel:2:29 @ and also on the male slaves and on the female slaves in those days I will pour out my Spirit.

updv@Joel:2:30 @ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

updv@Joel:2:31 @ The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of Yahweh comes.

updv@Joel:2:32 @ And it will come to pass, that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh will be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant those whom Yahweh calls.
