Joel 2:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ They swarm through the city,
    running upon its ramparts.
Climbing atop the houses,
    they enter through windows like a thief.”

¹⁰ “The land quivers in their presence;
    even the heavens shake.
The sun and moon will grow dark,
    and the stars will stop shining.
¹¹ The Lord will shout in the presence of his forces,
    because his encampment is very great;
for powerful is he who carries out his message.
    Truly the Day of the Lord is great, and very terrifying.
        Who will be able to survive^[a] it?”
