Blow (
note :){+}(:
note )
the trumpet in Zion ,
and sound an alarm in my holy mountain ;
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble :
for the day of Yahweh comes ,
for it is near at hand ;
*
a day of darkness and gloominess ,
a day of clouds and thick darkness ,
as the dawn spread on the mountains ;
a great and a strong people ;
there has not ever been the like ,
neither will [
there ]
be anymore after them ,
even to the years of many generations .
*
A fire devours before them ;
and behind them a flame burns :
the land is as the garden of Eden before them ,
and behind them a desolate wilderness ;
yes ,
and none has escaped them .
*
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses ;
and as horsemen ,
so they run .
*
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains they leap ,
like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble ,
as a strong people set in battle array .
*
At their presence the peoples are in anguish ;
all faces are waxed pale .
*
They run like mighty men ;
they climb the wall like men of war ;
and they march every one on his ways ,
and they do not proceed in a confused manner on their way .
*
Neither does one thrust another ;
they march every [
able-bodied ]
man in his path ;
and they burst through the weapons ,
and don '
t break off [
their course ].
*
They leap on the city ;
they run on the wall ;
they climb up into the houses ;
they enter in at the windows like a thief .
*
The earth quakes before them ;
the heavens tremble ;
the sun and the moon are darkened ,
and the stars withdraw their shining .
*
And Yahweh utters his voice before his army ;
for his camp is very great ;
for he is strong that executes his word ;
for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome ;
and who can endure it ?
