Joel 1
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;
2 Aday 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.
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.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run .
5Like 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 .
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained : all faces shall gather blackness.
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
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 .
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.
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:
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is verygreat: for he is strong that executeth his word: for
the day of the LORD is great and very terrible ; and who can abide it?
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:
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.
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?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast,call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble theelders, gather the children, and those that suck the
breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
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?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for hisland, and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I willsend you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be
satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
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 .
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice : for the LORD will do great things .
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.
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.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten , the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty , and be satisfied , and praise the name of theLORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously
with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
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 .
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:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew 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 great and the terrible day of the LORD come .
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 .

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.10

Joel 3
1
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,2
3
And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink .4
5
Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:6
The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians *, that ye might remove them far from their border.7
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:8
9
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near ; let them come up :10
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.12
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.13
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow ; for their wickedness is great.14
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.15
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.16

But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.21
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.11
