Joel 2:2-11
New King James Version
2 (A)A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
(B)A people come, great and strong,
(C)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 (D)the Garden of Eden before them,
(E)And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.
4 (F)Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like [a]swift steeds, so they run.
5 (G)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;
(H)All faces [b]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 (I)ranks.
8 They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own [c]column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not [d]cut down.
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They (J)enter at the windows (K)like a thief.
10 (L)The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
(M)The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.
11 (N)The Lord gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
(O)For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the (P)day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
(Q)Who can endure it?
Hosea 9:3
New King James Version
3 They shall not dwell in (A)the Lord’s land,
(B)But Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
And (C)shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

13 (A)On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in (B)the joyous city;

New King James Version
8 He will pass through Judah,

Will [a]fill the breadth of Your land, O (B)Immanuel.[b]

Yet they all advance in ranks;
