Joel:2:1 @
Blow a trumpet in Zion ,
And sound an alarm on My holy mountain !
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble ,
For the day of the LORD is coming ;
Surely it is near ,
nasb @
Joel:2:2 @
A day of darkness and gloom ,
A day of clouds and thick darkness .
As the dawn is spread over the mountains ,
So there is a great and mighty people ;
There has never been anything like it ,
Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations .
nasb @
Joel:2:3 @
A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns .
The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them ,
And nothing at all escapes them .
nasb @
Joel:2:4 @
Their appearance is like the appearance of horses ;
And like war horses ,
so they run .
nasb @
Joel:2:5 @
With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains ,
Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble ,
Like a mighty people arranged for battle .
nasb @
Joel:2:6 @
Before them the people are in anguish ;
All faces turn pale .
nasb @
Joel:2:7 @
They run like mighty men ,
They climb the wall like soldiers ;
And they each march in line ,
Nor do they deviate from their paths .
nasb @
Joel:2:8 @
They do not crowd each other ,
They march everyone in his path ;
When they burst through the defenses ,
They do not break ranks .
nasb @
Joel:2:9 @
They rush on the city ,
They run on the wall ;
They climb into the houses ,
They enter through the windows like a thief .
nasb @
Joel:2:10 @
Before them the earth quakes ,
The heavens tremble ,
The sun and the moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness .
nasb @
Joel:2:11 @
The LORD utters His voice before His army ;
Surely His camp is very great ,
For strong is he who carries out His word .
The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome ,
And who can endure it ?
