mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the
day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;<section end=2:1/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=2}} <section begin=2:2/>A day 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.<section end=2:2/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=3}} <section begin=2:3/>A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:

horsemen, so shall they run.<section end=2:4/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=5}} <section begin=2:5/>Like 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.<section end=2:5/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=6}} <section begin=2:6/>Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces
shall gather blackness.<section end=2:6/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=7}} <section begin=2:7/>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 break their ranks:<section end=2:7/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=8}} <section begin=2:8/>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.<section end=2:8/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=9}} <section begin=2:9/>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.<section end=2:9/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=10}} <section begin=2:10/>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:<section end=2:10/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=11}} <section begin=2:11/>And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his
camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word:
for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who
can abide it?<section end=2:11/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=12}} <section begin=2:12/>Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with
all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with
mourning:<section end=2:12/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=13}} <section begin=2:13/>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.<section end=2:13/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=14}} <section begin=2:14/>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?<section end=2:14/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=15}} <section begin=2:15/>Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn
assembly:<section end=2:15/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=16}} <section begin=2:16/>Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the
elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:
let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out
of her closet.<section end=2:16/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=17}} <section begin=2:17/>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?<section end=2:17/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=18}} <section begin=2:18/>Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his
people.<section end=2:18/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=19}} <section begin=2:19/>Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I
will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be
satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach
among the heathen:<section end=2:19/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=20}} <section begin=2:20/>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.<section end=2:20/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=21}} <section begin=2:21/>Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do
great things.<section end=2:21/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=22}} <section begin=2:22/>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.<section end=2:22/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=23}} <section begin=2:23/>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.<section end=2:23/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=24}} <section begin=2:24/>And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall
overflow with wine and oil.<section end=2:24/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=25}} <section begin=2:25/>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.<section end=2:25/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=26}} <section begin=2:26/>And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the
name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with
you: and my people shall never be ashamed.<section end=2:26/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=27}} <section begin=2:27/>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.<section end=2:27/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=28}} <section begin=2:28/>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:<section end=2:28/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=29}} <section begin=2:29/>And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those
days will I pour out my spirit.<section end=2:29/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=30}} <section begin=2:30/>And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.<section end=2:30/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=31}} <section begin=2:31/>The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.<section end=2:31/>

{{verse|chapter=2|verse=32}} <section begin=2:32/>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.

your recompence upon your own head;<section end=3:4/>

ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from
