Joel:2:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Sound the trumpet in Sion ,
make a proclamation in my holy mountain ,
and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded :
for the day of the Lord is near ;
*
for a day of darkness and gloominess is near ,
a day of cloud and mist :
a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning ;
there has not been from the (
note :)
Gr .
age (:
note )
beginning one like it ,
and after it there shall not be again even to the years of many generations .
*
Before (
note :)
Gr .
it ,
sc .
the people (:
note )
them is a consuming fire ,
and behind them is a flame kindled :
the land before them is as a paradise of delight ,
and behind them a desolate plain :
and there shall none Lit .
to him ,
sc .
the people of them escape .
*
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses ;
and as horsemen ,
so shall they pursue .
*
As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap ,
and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble ,
and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle .
*
Before them shall the people be crushed :
every face shall be as the blackness of a (

Or ,
pot (:
note )
caldron .
*
As warriors shall they run ,
and as men of war shall they mount on the walls ;
and each shall move in his right path ,
and they shall not turn aside from their tracks :
*
and not one shall stand aloof from his brother :
they shall go on weighed down with their arms ,
and they fall upon their weapons ,
yet shall they in no wise be destroyed .
*
They shall seize upon the city ,
and run upon the walls ,
and go up upon the houses ,
and enter in through the windows as thieves .
*
Before them the earth shall be confounded ,
and the sky shall be shaken :
the sun and the moon shall be darkened ,
and the stars shall withdraw their light .
*
And the Lord shall utter his voice before his host :
for his camp is very great :
for the (
note :)
Gr .
works (:
note )
execution of his words is mighty :
for the day of the Lord is great ,
very glorious ,
and who shall be Gr .
sufficient for it able to resist it ?
