Joel:2:2-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A day of darkness and of gloominess ,
a day of clouds and of thick darkness ,
as the morning spread upon the mountains :
a great people and a strong ;
there hath not been ever the like ,
neither shall be any more after it ,
even to the years of many generations .
*
A fire devoureth before them ;
and behind them a flame burneth :
the land is as the garden of Eden before them ,
and behind them a desolate wilderness ;
yea ,
and nothing shall escape them .
*
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses ;
and as horsemen ,
so shall they run .
*
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap ,
like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble ,
as a strong people set in battle array .
*
Before their face the people shall be much pained :
all faces shall gather blackness pa #
ruwr #.
*
They shall run like mighty men ;
they shall climb the wall like men of war ;
and they shall march every one on his ways ,
and they shall not break their ranks :
*
Neither shall one thrust another ;
they shall walk every one in his path :
and when they fall upon the sword ,
they shall not be wounded .
*
They shall run to and fro in the city ;
they shall run upon the wall ,
they shall climb up upon the houses ;
they shall enter in at the windows like a thief .
*
The earth shall quake before them ;
the heavens shall tremble :
the sun and the moon shall be dark ,
and the stars shall withdraw their shining :
*
And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army :
for his camp is very great :
for he is strong that executeth his word :
for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible ;
and who can abide it ?
