BlowH8628 you the trumpetH7782 in Zion,H6726 and soundH7321 an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountain:H2022 let allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 tremble:H7264 for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comes,H935 for it is nearH7126 at hand;
2
A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominess,H653 a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darkness,H6205 as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 on the mountains:H2022 a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strong;H6099 there has not beenH1961 everH5769 the like,H3644 neitherH3808 shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of many generations.H1755
3
A fireH784 devoursH398 beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burns:H3857 the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wilderness;H4057 yes,H1571 and nothingH3808 shall escapeH6413 them.
4
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horses;H5483 and as horsemen,H6571 soH3651 shall they run.H7323
5
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 onH5921 the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leap,H7540 like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devoursH398 the stubble,H7179 as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 array.H6186
6
Before their faceH6440 the peopleH5971 shall be much pained:H2342 allH3605 facesH6440 shall gatherH6908 blackness.H6289
7
They shall runH7323 like mightyH1368 men; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of war;H4421 and they shall marchH3212 everyH376 oneH376 on his ways,H1870 and they shall not breakH5670 their ranks:H734
8
NeitherH3808 shall oneH376 thrustH1766 another;H251 they shall walkH3212 everyH1397 oneH1397 in his path:H4546 and when they fallH5307 on the sword,H7973 they shall not be wounded.H1214
9
They shall runH8264 to and froH8264 in the city;H5892 they shall runH7323 on the wall,H2346 they shall climbH5927 up on the houses;H1004 they shall enterH935 in atH1157 the windowsH2474 like a thief.H1590
10
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall tremble:H7493 the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be dark,H6937 and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shining:H5051
11
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his army:H2428 for his campH4264 is veryH3960 great:H7227 for he is strongH6099 that executesH6213 his word:H1697 for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3960 terrible;H3372 and whoH4310 can abideH3557 it?
12
ThereforeH1571 alsoH1571 now,H6258 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 turnH7725 you even to me with allH3605 your heart,H3824 and with fasting,H6685 and with weeping,H1065 and with mourning:H4553
13
And rendH7167 your heart,H3824 and not your garments,H899 and turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 your God:H430 for he is graciousH2587 and merciful,H7349 slowH750 to anger,H639 and of greatH7227 kindness,H2617 and repentsH5162 him of the evil.H7451
14
WhoH4310 knowsH3045 if he will returnH7725 and repent,H5162 and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drinkH5262 offering to the LORDH3068 your God?H430
15
BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in Zion,H6726 sanctifyH6942 a fast,H6685 callH7121 a solemnH6116 assembly:H6116
16
GatherH622 the people,H5971 sanctifyH6942 the congregation,H6951 assembleH6908 the elders,H2205 gatherH622 the children,H5768 and those that suckH3243 the breasts:H7699 let the bridegroomH2860 goH3318 forthH3318 of his chamber,H2315 and the brideH3618 out of her closet.H2646
17
Let the priests,H3548 the ministersH8334 of the LORD,H3068 weepH1058 betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altar,H4196 and let them say,H559 SpareH2347 your people,H5971 O LORD,H3068 and giveH5414 not your heritageH5159 to reproach,H2781 that the heathenH1471 should ruleH4910 over them: whyH4100 should they sayH559 among the people,H5971 WhereH346 is their God?H430
18
Then will the LORDH3068 be jealousH7065 for his land,H776 and pityH2550 his people.H5971
19
Yes, the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 and sayH559 to his people,H5971 Behold,H2005 I will sendH7971 you corn,H1715 and wine,H8492 and oil,H3323 and you shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith:H854 and I will noH3808 moreH5750 makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the heathen:H1471
20
But I will removeH7368 farH7368 off from you the northernH6830 army, and will driveH5080 him intoH413 a landH776 barrenH6723 and desolate,H8077 with his faceH6440 towardH413 the eastH6931 sea,H3220 and his hinderH5490 part towardH413 the utmostH314 sea,H3220 and his stinkH889 shall comeH5927 up, and his illH6709 smellH6709 shall comeH5927 up, becauseH3588 he has doneH6213 greatH1431 things.
21
FearH3372 not, O land;H127 be gladH1523 and rejoice:H8055 for the LORDH3068 will doH6213 greatH1431 things.
22
Be not afraid,H3372 you beastsH929 of the field:H7704 for the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 do spring,H1876 for the treeH6086 bearsH5375 her fruit,H6529 the figH8384 tree and the vineH1612 do yieldH5414 their strength.H2428
23
Be gladH1523 then, you childrenH1121 of Zion,H6726 and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your God:H430 for he has givenH5414 you the formerH4175 rainH4175 moderately,H6666 and he will cause to comeH3381 downH3381 for you the rain,H1653 the formerH4175 rain,H4175 and the latterH4456 rainH4456 in the firstH7223 month.
24
And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of wheat,H1250 and the vats shall overflowH7783 with wineH8492 and oil.H3323
25
And I will restoreH7999 to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 has eaten,H398 the cankerworm,H3218 and the caterpillar,H2625 and the palmerworm,H1501 my greatH1419 armyH2428 whichH834 I sentH7971 among you.
26
And you shall eatH398 in plenty,H398 and be satisfied,H7646 and praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your God,H430 that has dealtH6213 wondrouslyH6381 with you: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH3808 H5769 be ashamed.H954
27
And you shall knowH3045 that I am in the middleH7130 of Israel,H3478 and that I am the LORDH3068 your God,H430 and noneH369 else:H5750 and my peopleH5971 shall neverH3808 H5769 be ashamed.H954
28
And it shall comeH1961 to pass afterward,H310 H3651 that I will pourH8210 out my spiritH7307 on allH3605 flesh;H1320 and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesy,H5012 your oldH2205 men shall dreamH2492 dreams,H2472 your youngH970 men shall seeH7200 visions:H2384
29
And alsoH1571 on the servantsH5650 and on the handmaidsH8198 in thoseH1992 daysH3117 will I pourH8210 out my spirit.H7307
30
And I will showH5414 wondersH4159 in the heavensH8064 and in the earth,H776 blood,H1818 and fire,H784 and pillarsH8490 of smoke.H6227
31
The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015 into darkness,H2822 and the moonH3394 into blood,H1818 beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and terribleH3372 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 come.H935
32
And it shall comeH1961 to pass, that whoeverH834 shall callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 shall be delivered:H4422 for in mountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 shall be deliverance,H6413 as the LORDH3068 has said,H559 and in the remnantH8300 whomH834 the LORDH3068 shall call.H7121
