2:1 Blow
a
trumpet
in
Zion;
sound
an
alarm
on
my
holy
mountain!
Let
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
tremble,
for
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
coming;
it
is
near,
2:2 a
day
of
darkness
and
gloom,
a
day
of
clouds
and
thick
darkness!
Like
blackness
there
is
spread
upon
the
mountains
a
great
and
powerful
people;
their
like
has
never
been
before,
nor
will
be
again
after
them
through
the
years
of
all
generations.
2:3 Fire
devours
before
them,
and
behind
them
a
flame
burns.
The
land
is
like
the
garden
of
Eden
before
them,
but
behind
them
a
desolate
wilderness,
and
nothing
escapes
them.
2:4 Their
appearance
is
like
the
appearance
of
horses,
and
like
war
horses
they
run.
2:5 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.
2:6 Before
them
peoples
are
in
anguish;
all
faces
grow
pale.
2:7 Like
warriors
they
charge;
like
soldiers
they
scale
the
wall.
They
march
each
on
his
way;
they
do
not
swerve
from
their
paths.
2:8 They
do
not
jostle
one
another;
each
marches
in
his
path;
they
burst
through
the
weapons
and
are
not
halted.
2:9 They
leap
upon
the
city,
they
run
upon
the
walls,
they
climb
up
into
the
houses,
they
enter
through
the
windows
like
a
thief.
2:10 The
earth
quakes
before
them;
the
heavens
tremble.
The
sun
and
the
moon
are
darkened,
and
the
stars
withdraw
their
shining.
2:11 The
LORD
utters
his
voice
before
his
army,
for
his
camp
is
exceedingly
great;
he
who
executes
his
word
is
powerful.
For
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
great
and
very
awesome;
who
can
endure
it
2:12 "Yet
even
now,"
declares
the
LORD,
"return
to
me
with
all
your
heart,
with
fasting,
with
weeping,
and
with
mourning;
2:13 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
he
relents
over
disaster.
2:14 Who
knows
whether
he
will
not
turn
and
relent,
and
leave
a
blessing
behind
him,
a
grain
offering
and
a
drink
offering
for
the
LORD
your
God
2:15 Blow
the
trumpet
in
Zion;
consecrate
a
fast;
call
a
solemn
assembly;
2:16 gather
the
people.
Consecrate
the
congregation;
assemble
the
elders;
gather
the
children,
even
nursing
infants.
Let
the
bridegroom
leave
his
room,
and
the
bride
her
chamber.
2:17 Between
the
vestibule
and
the
altar
let
the
priests,
the
ministers
of
the
LORD,
weep
and
say,
"Spare
your
people,
O
LORD,
and
make
not
your
heritage
a
reproach,
a
byword
among
the
nations.
Why
should
they
say
among
the
peoples,
'Where
is
their
God'"
2:18 Then
the
LORD
became
jealous
for
his
land
and
had
pity
on
his
people.
2:19 The
LORD
answered
and
said
to
his
people,
"Behold,
I
am
sending
to
you
grain,
wine,
and
oil,
and
you
will
be
satisfied;
and
I
will
no
more
make
you
a
reproach
among
the
nations.
2:20 "I
will
remove
the
northerner
far
from
you,
and
drive
him
into
a
parched
and
desolate
land,
his
vanguard
into
the
eastern
sea,
and
his
rear
guard
into
the
western
sea;
the
stench
and
foul
smell
of
him
will
rise,
for
he
has
done
great
things.
2:21 "Fear
not,
O
land;
be
glad
and
rejoice,
for
the
LORD
has
done
great
things!
2:22 Fear
not,
you
beasts
of
the
field,
for
the
pastures
of
the
wilderness
are
green;
the
tree
bears
its
fruit;
the
fig
tree
and
vine
give
their
full
yield.
2:23 "Be
glad,
O
children
of
Zion,
and
rejoice
in
the
LORD
your
God,
for
he
has
given
the
early
rain
for
your
vindication;
he
has
poured
down
for
you
abundant
rain,
the
early
and
the
latter
rain,
as
before.
2:24 "The
threshing
floors
shall
be
full
of
grain;
the
vats
shall
overflow
with
wine
and
oil.
2:25 I
will
restore
to
you
the
years
that
the
swarming
locust
has
eaten,
the
hopper,
the
destroyer,
and
the
cutter,
my
great
army,
which
I
sent
among
you.
2:26 "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
again
be
put
to
shame.
2:27 You
shall
know
that
I
am
in
the
midst
of
Israel,
and
that
I
am
the
LORD
your
God
and
there
is
none
else.
And
my
people
shall
never
again
be
put
to
shame.
2:28 "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,
and
your
young
men
shall
see
visions.
2:29 Even
on
the
male
and
female
servants
in
those
days
I
will
pour
out
my
Spirit.
2:30 "And
I
will
show
wonders
in
the
heavens
and
on
the
earth,
blood
and
fire
and
columns
of
smoke.
2:31 The
sun
shall
be
turned
to
darkness,
and
the
moon
to
blood,
before
the
great
and
awesome
day
of
the
LORD
comes.
2:32 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
everyone
who
calls
on
the
name
of
the
LORD
shall
be
saved.
For
in
Mount
Zion
and
in
Jerusalem
there
shall
be
those
who
escape,
as
the
LORD
has
said,
and
among
the
survivors
shall
be
those
whom
the
LORD
calls.
