Joel 2:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

2 “Blow the trumpet in Zion! And shout on My Holy Mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the Day of the LORD has come. For it is at hand,

² “a day of darkness, and of blackness, a day of clouds and obscurity. As the morning spread upon the mountains, so is there a great people, and mighty. There was none like it from the beginning, nor shall there be any after it, until the years of many generations.”

³ A fire devours before them. And behind them a flame burns up. The land is as the Garden of Eden before them. And behind them there is a desolate wilderness, so that nothing shall escape them.
