drb Joel:2:1-11
drb@Joel:2:1 @Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the day of the Lord cometh, because it is nigh at hand,
drb@Joel:2:2 @A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it even to the years of generation and generation.
drb@Joel:2:3 @Before the face thereof a devouring fire, and behind it a burning flame: the land is like a garden of pleasure before it, and behind it a desolate wilderness, neither is there any one that can escape it.
drb@Joel:2:4 @The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like horsemen.
drb@Joel:2:5 @They shall leap like the noise of chariots upon the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, as a strong people prepared to battle.
drb@Joel:2:6 @At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.
drb@Joel:2:7 @They shall run like valiant men: like men of war they shall scale the wall: the men shall march every one on his way, and they shall not turn aside from their ranks.
drb@Joel:2:8 @No one shall press upon his brother: they shall walk every one in his path: yea, and they shall fall through the windows, and shall take no harm.
drb@Joel:2:9 @They shall enter into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses, they shall come in at the windows as a thief.
drb@Joel:2:10 @At their presence the earth hath trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.
drb@Joel:2:11 @And the Lord hath uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can stand it?
