Joel 2

1Blow^H8628 ye the trumpet^H7782 in Zion^H6726, and sound an alarm^H7321 in my holy^H6944 mountain^H2022; let all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 tremble^H7264: for the day^H3117 of Jehovah^H3068 cometh^H935, for it is nigh at hand^H7138; 2a day^H3117 of darkness^H2822 and gloominess^H653, a day^H3117 of clouds^H6051 and thick darkness^H6205, as the dawn^H7837 spread^H6566 upon the mountains^H2022; a great^H7227 people^H5971 and a strong^H6099; there hath not been^H1961 ever^H5769 the like, neither shall be any more^H3254 after^H310 them, even to the years^H8141 of many^H1755 generations^H1755. 3A fire^H784 devoureth^H398 before^H6440 them; and behind^H310 them a flame^H3852 burneth^H3857: the land^H776 is as the garden^H1588 of Eden^H5731 before^H6440 them, and behind^H310 them a desolate^H8077 wilderness^H4057; yea, and none hath escaped^H6413 them. 4The appearance^H4758 of them is as the appearance^H4758 of horses^H5483; and as horsemen^H6571, so do they run^H7323. 5Like the noise^H6963 of chariots^H4818 on the tops^H7218 of the mountains^H2022 do they leap^H7540, like the noise^H6963 of a flame^H3851 of fire^H784 that devoureth^H398 the stubble^H7179, as a strong^H6099 people^H5971 set in battle^H4421 array^H6186. 6At their presence^H6440 the peoples^H5971 are in anguish^H2342; all faces^H6440 are waxed^H6908 pale^H6289. 7They run^H7323 like mighty men^H1368; they climb^H5927 the wall^H2346 like men^H582 of war^H4421; and they march^H3212 every one^H376 on his ways^H1870, and they break^H5670 not their ranks^H734. 8Neither doth one^H376 thrust^H1766 another^H251; they march^H3212 every one^H1397 in his path^H4546; and they burst through^H5307 the weapons^H7973, and break^H1214 not off their course. 9They leap^H8264 upon the city^H5892; they run^H7323 upon the wall^H2346; they climb up^H5927 into the houses^H1004; they enter in^H935 at the windows^H2474 like a thief^H1590. 10The earth^H776 quaketh^H7264 before^H6440 them; the heavens^H8064 tremble^H7493; the sun^H8121 and the moon^H3394 are darkened^H6937, and the stars^H3556 withdraw^H622 their shining^H5051. 11And Jehovah^H3068 uttereth^H5414 his voice^H6963 before^H6440 his army^H2428; for his camp^H4264 is very^H3966 great^H7227; for he is strong^H6099 that executeth^H6213 his word^H1697; for the day^H3117 of Jehovah^H3068 is great^H1419 and very^H3966 terrible^H3372; and who can abide^H3557 it? 12Yet even now, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, turn^H7725 ye unto me with all your heart^H3824, and with fasting^H6685, and with weeping^H1065, and with mourning^H4553: 13and rend^H7167 your heart^H3824, and not your garments^H899, and turn^H7725 unto Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430; for he is gracious^H2587 and merciful^H7349, slow^H750 to anger^H639, and abundant^H7227 in lovingkindness^H2617, and repenteth^H5162 him of the evil^H7451. 14Who knoweth^H3045 whether he will not turn^H7725 and repent^H5162, and leave^H7604 a blessing^H1293 behind^H310 him, even a meal-offering^H4503 and a drink-offering^H5262 unto Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430? 15Blow^H8628 the trumpet^H7782 in Zion^H6726, sanctify^H6942 a fast^H6685, call^H7121 a solemn assembly^H6116; 16gather^H622 the people^H5971, sanctify^H6942 the assembly^H6951, assemble^H6908 the old^H2205 men, gather^H622 the children^H5768, and those that suck^H3243 the breasts^H7699; let the bridegroom^H2860 go forth^H3318 from his chamber^H2315, and the bride^H3618 out of her closet^H2646. 17Let the priests^H3548, the ministers^H8334 of Jehovah^H3068, weep^H1058 between the porch^H197 and the altar^H4196, and let them say^H559, Spare^H2347 thy people^H5971, O Jehovah^H3068, and give^H5414 not thy heritage^H5159 to reproach^H2781, that the nations^H1471 should rule over^H4910 them: wherefore should they say^H559 among the peoples^H5971, Where is their God^H430? 18Then was Jehovah^H3068 jealous^H7065 for his land^H776, and had pity^H2550 on his people^H5971. 19And Jehovah^H3068 answered^H6030 and said^H559 unto his people^H5971, Behold, I will send^H7971 you grain^H1715, and new wine^H8492, and oil^H3323, and ye shall be satisfied^H7646 therewith; and I will no more make^H5414 you a reproach^H2781 among the nations^H1471; 20but I will remove far off^H7368 from you the northern^H6830 army, and will drive^H5080 it into a land^H776 barren^H6723 and desolate^H8077, its forepart^H6440 into the eastern^H6931 sea^H3220, and its hinder part^H5490 into the western^H314 sea^H3220; and its stench^H889 shall come up^H5927, and its ill savor^H6709 shall come up^H5927, because it hath done^H6213 great things^H1431. 21Fear^H3372 not, O land^H127, be glad^H1523 and rejoice^H8055; for Jehovah^H3068 hath done^H6213 great things^H1431. 22Be not afraid^H3372, ye beasts^H929 of the field^H7704; for the pastures^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057 do spring^H1876, for the tree^H6086 beareth^H5375 its fruit^H6529, the fig-tree^H8384 and the vine^H1612 do yield^H5414 their strength^H2428. 23Be glad^H1523 then, ye children^H1121 of Zion^H6726, and rejoice^H8055 in Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430; for he giveth^H5414 you the former rain^H4175 in just measure^H6666, and he causeth to come down^H3381 for you the rain^H1653, the former rain^H4175 and the latter rain^H4456, in the first^H7223 month. 24And the floors^H1637 shall be full^H4390 of wheat^H1250, and the vats^H3342 shall overflow^H7783 with new wine^H8492 and oil^H3323. 25And I will restore^H7999 to you the years^H8141 that the locust^H697 hath eaten^H398, the canker-worm^H3218, and the caterpillar^H2625, and the palmer-worm^H1501, my great^H1419 army^H2428 which I sent^H7971 among you. 26And ye shall eat^H398 in plenty^H398 and be satisfied^H7646, and shall praise^H1984 the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430, that hath dealt^H6213 wondrously^H6381 with you; and my people^H5971 shall never^H5769 be put to shame^H954. 27And ye shall know^H3045 that I am in the midst^H7130 of Israel^H3478, and that I am Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430, and there is none else; and my people^H5971 shall never^H5769 be put to shame^H954. 28And it shall come to pass afterward^H310, that I will pour out^H8210 my Spirit^H7307 upon all flesh^H1320; and your sons^H1121 and your daughters^H1323 shall prophesy^H5012, your old men^H2205 shall dream^H2492 dreams^H2472, your young men^H970 shall see^H7200 visions^H2384: 29and also upon the servants^H5650 and upon the handmaids^H8198 in those days^H3117 will I pour out^H8210 my Spirit^H7307. 30And I will show^H5414 wonders^H4159 in the heavens^H8064 and in the earth^H776: blood^H1818, and fire^H784, and pillars^H8490 of smoke^H6227. 31The sun^H8121 shall be turned^H2015 into darkness^H2822, and the moon^H3394 into blood^H1818, before^H6440 the great^H1419 and terrible^H3372 day^H3117 of Jehovah^H3068 cometh^H935. 32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call^H7121 on the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068 shall be delivered^H4422; for in mount^H2022 Zion^H6726 and in Jerusalem^H3389 there shall be those that escape^H6413, as Jehovah^H3068 hath said^H559, and among the remnant^H8300 those whom Jehovah^H3068 doth call^H7121.
