Joel 1:1-2 In Detail RSV
Joel 1:1-2 The word of the LORD that came to Jo-el, the son of Pe-thu'el;
Hear this, you aged men, give ear, all inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
Joel 2 :1-14 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremple, for the day of the LORD is coming, it is near,
a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Loke blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations.
Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.
Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses they run.
As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle.
Before them peoples are in anguish, all faces grow pale.
Like warriors they charge, like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way, they do not swerve from their paths.
They do not jostle one another, each marches in his path; they burst through the weapons and are not halted.
They leap upon the city, they run upon the walls; they climb up into the houses, they enter through 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.
The LORD utters his voice before his army, for his host is exceedingly great; he that executes his word is powerful. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it?
"Yet even now," says the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
and rend your hearts and not your garments." Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil.
Who knows whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, a cereal offering and a drink offering for the LORD, your God?
Jeremiah 4:5-9 Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say, "Blow the trumpet through the land; cry aloud and say, 'Assemble, and let us go into the fortified cities!'
Raise a standard toward Zion, flee for safety, stay not, for I bring evil from the north, and great destruction.
A lion has gone up from his thicket, a destroyer of nations has set out; he has gone forth from his place to make your land a waste; your cities will be ruins without inhabitant.
For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned back from us."
"In that day, says the LORD, courage shall fail both king and princes; the priests shall be appalled and the prophets astounded."
