Joel:2:1-11

* Blow a ram 's horn in Zion , and shout an alarm in My holy mountain . Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble . For the day of Jehovah approaches ; it is near , * a day of darkness and gloominess , a day of clouds and thick darkness , as the dawn spread out on the mountains , a great and a strong people . There has never been the like , nor shall there ever be again to the years of many generations ; * a fire devours before it , and a flame burns behind it . The land is as the garden of Eden before them , and behind them is a desolate wilderness ; yea , also there is no escape to them . * Their appearance is like horses ; and as war horses , so they run . * They shall leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains , like the noise of flames of fire that devour the chaff , as a strong people set in order for battle . * Before their face , the people shall be pained ; all faces collect heat . * They shall run as mighty ones ; they shall go up the wall as men of war . And they each go on his way , and they do not change their paths . * And each does not press his brother ; they each go in his paths . And if they fall behind their weapon , they shall not be cut off . * They shall rush on the city ; they shall run on the wall ; they shall climb up on the houses ; they shall enter in by the windows , like a thief . * The earth shall quake before them , the heavens shall shake . The sun and moon shall grow dark , and the stars shall gather in their light . * And Jehovah shall give His voice before His army , for His camp is very great . For he who does His word is strong . For the day of Jehovah is very great and terrifying , and who can endure it ?
