JOE-2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my
holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for
the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand;
JOE-2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and
of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a
great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,
neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many
generations.
JOE-2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame
burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and
behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape
them.
JOE-2:4 The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses;
and as horsemen, so shall they run.
JOE-2:5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains
shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that
devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
JOE-2:6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all
faces shall gather blackness.
JOE-2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the
wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways,
and they shall not break their ranks:
JOE-2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every
one in his path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall
not be wounded.
JOE-2:9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run
upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall
enter in at the windows like a thief.
JOE-2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall
tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall
withdraw their shining:
JOE-2:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for
his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executeth his
word: for the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; and
who can abide it?
JOE-2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye [even] to
me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and
with mourning:
JOE-2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn
unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow
to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
JOE-2:14 Who knoweth [if] he will return and repent, and leave a
blessing behind him; [even] a meat offering and a drink offering
unto the LORD your God?
JOE-2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a
solemn assembly:
JOE-2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble
the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:
let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out
of her closet.
JOE-2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep
between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy
people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that
the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say
among the people, Where [is] their God?
JOE-2:18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity
his people.
JOE-2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people,
Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be
satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach
among the heathen:
JOE-2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern [army],
and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his
face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost
sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come
up, because he hath done great things.
JOE-2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD
will do great things.
JOE-2:22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures
of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the
fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
JOE-2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the
LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately,
and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain,
and the latter rain in the first [month].
JOE-2:24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats
shall overflow with wine and oil.
JOE-2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust
hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the
palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
JOE-2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and
praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously
with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
JOE-2:27 And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel,
and [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
JOE-2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour
out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men
shall see visions:
JOE-2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in
those days will I pour out my spirit.
JOE-2:30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
JOE-2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon
into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD
come.
JOE-2:32 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call
on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion
and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said,
and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
