Joel 2:1

Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;

Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, for [it is] near!

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is at hand;

Joel 2:2

For a day of dark and deep shade is near, a day of cloud and black night: like a black cloud a great and strong people is covering the mountains; there has never been any like them and will not be after them again, from generation to generation.

A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like it there hath not been from of old, And after it there is not again till the years of generation and generation.

a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.

Joel 2:3

Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.

Before it consumed hath fire, And after it burn doth a flame, As the garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness a desolation! And also an escape there hath not been to it,

A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them.

Joel 2:4

Their form is like the form of horses, and they are running like war-horses.

As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.

Joel 2:5

Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.

As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.

Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

Joel 2:6

At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.

From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered paleness.

Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale.

Joel 2:7

They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.

As mighty ones they run, As men of war they go up a wall, And each in his own ways they do go, And they embarrass not their paths.

They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks.

Joel 2:8

No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.

And each his brother they press not, Each in his way they go on, If by the missile they fall, they are not cut off.

Neither doth one press upon another; they march every one in his path; and fall amid weapons, but are not wounded.

Joel 2:9

They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.

In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.

They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.

Joel 2:10

At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.

The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

Joel 2:11

And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?

And Jehovah hath given forth His voice before His force, For very great [is] His camp, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the day of Jehovah very fearful, And who doth bear it?

And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for strong is he that executeth his word: for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can bear it?

But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

And also now an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.

Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning;

Who knoweth? He might return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God?

I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.

And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him unto a land dry and desolate, With his face unto the eastern sea, And his rear unto the western sea, And come up hath his stink, And come up doth his stench, For he hath exerted himself to work.

And I will remove far off from you him [that cometh] from the north, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the hinder sea; and his stench shall come up, and his ill odour shall come up, for he hath exalted himself to do great things.
