The Day of the Lord
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 2
|
|
1. 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 the Lord is coming,
|
|
For it is at hand:
|
|
|
|
2. A day of darkness and gloominess,
|
|
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
|
|
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
|
|
A people come, great and strong,
|
|
The like of whom has never been;
|
|
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
|
|
Even for many successive generations.
|
|
|
|
3. A fire devours before them,
|
|
And behind them a flame burns;
|
|
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
|
|
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
|
|
Surely nothing shall escape them.
|
|
|
|
4. Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
|
|
And like swift steeds, so they run.
|
|
|
|
5. With a noise like chariots
|
|
Over mountaintops they leap,
|
|
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
|
|
Like a strong people set in battle array.
|
|
|
|
6. Before them the people writhe in pain;
|
|
All faces are drained of color.
|
|
|
|
7. They run like mighty men,
|
|
They climb the wall like men of war;
|
|
Every one marches in formation,
|
|
And they do not break ranks.
|
|
|
|
8. They do not push one another;
|
|
Every one marches in his own column.
|
|
Though they lunge between the weapons,
|
|
They are not cut down.
|
|
|
|
9. They run to and fro in the city,
|
|
They run on the wall;
|
|
They climb into the houses,
|
|
They enter at the windows like a thief.
|
|
|
|
10. The earth quakes before them,
|
|
The heavens tremble;
|
|
The sun and moon grow dark,
|
|
And the stars diminish their brightness.
|
|
|
|
11. The Lord gives voice before His army,
|
|
For His camp is very great;
|
|
For strong is the One who executes His word.
|
|
For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
|
|
Who can endure it?A Call to Repentance
|
|
|
|
12. "Now, therefore," says the Lord,
|
|
"Turn to Me with all your heart,
|
|
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."
|
|
|
|
13. So rend your heart, and not your garments;
|
|
Return to the Lord your God,
|
|
For He is gracious and merciful,
|
|
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
|
|
And He relents from doing harm.
|
|
|
|
14. Who knows if He will turn and relent,
|
|
And leave a blessing behind Him--
|
|
A grain offering and a drink offering
|
|
For the Lord your God?
|
|
|
|
15. Blow the trumpet in Zion,
|
|
Consecrate a fast,
|
|
Call a sacred assembly;
|
|
|
|
16. Gather the people,
|
|
Sanctify the congregation,
|
|
Assemble the elders,
|
|
Gather the children and nursing babes;
|
|
Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
|
|
And the bride from her dressing room.
|
|
|
|
17. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord,
|
|
Weep between the porch and the altar;
|
|
Let them say, "Spare Your people, O Lord,
|
|
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
|
|
That the nations should rule over them.
|
|
Why should they say among the peoples,
|
|
'Where is their God?' "The Land Refreshed
|
|
|
|
18. Then the Lord will be zealous for His land,
|
|
And pity His people.
|
|
|
|
19. The Lord will answer and say to His people,
|
|
"Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil,
|
|
And you will be satisfied by them;
|
|
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
|
|
|
|
20. "But I will remove far from you the northern army,
|
|
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
|
|
With his face toward the eastern sea
|
|
And his back toward the western sea;
|
|
His stench will come up,
|
|
And his foul odor will rise,
|
|
Because he has done monstrous things."
|
|
|
|
21. Fear not, O land;
|
|
Be glad and rejoice,
|
|
For the Lord has done marvelous things!
|
|
|
|
22. Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
|
|
For the open pastures are springing up,
|
|
And the tree bears its fruit;
|
|
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
|
|
|
|
23. Be glad then, you children of Zion,
|
|
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
|
|
For He has given you the former rain faithfully,
|
|
And He will cause the rain to come down for you--
|
|
The former rain,
|
|
And the latter rain in the first month.
|
|
|
|
24. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
|
|
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
|
|
|
|
25. "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
|
|
The crawling locust,
|
|
The consuming locust,
|
|
And the chewing locust,
|
|
My great army which I sent among you.
|
|
|
|
26. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
|
|
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
|
|
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
|
|
And My people shall never be put to shame.
|
|
|
|
27. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel:
|
|
I am the Lord your God
|
|
And there is no other.
|
|
My people shall never be put to shame.God's Spirit Poured Out
|
|
|
|
28. "And it shall come to pass afterward
|
|
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
|
|
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
|
|
Your old men shall dream dreams,
|
|
Your young men shall see visions.
|
|
|
|
29. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
|
|
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
|
|
|
|
30. "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
|
|
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
|
|
|
|
31. The sun shall be turned into darkness,
|
|
And the moon into blood,
|
|
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
|
|
|
|
32. And it shall come to pass
|
|
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
|
|
Shall be saved.
|
|
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
|
|
As the Lord has said,
|
|
Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.
