Blow{H8628} ye the trumpet{H7782} in Zion,{H6726} and sound an alarm{H7321} in my holy{H6944} mountain;{H2022} let all the inhabitants{H3427} of the land{H776} tremble:{H7264} for the day{H3117} of Jehovah{H3068} cometh,{H935} for it is nigh at hand;{H7138}

a day{H3117} of darkness{H2822} and gloominess,{H653} a day{H3117} of clouds{H6051} and thick darkness,{H6205} as the dawn{H7837} spread{H6566} upon the mountains;{H2022} a great{H7227} people{H5971} and a strong;{H6099} there hath not been{H1961} ever{H5769} the like, neither shall be any more{H3254} after{H310} them, even to the years{H8141} of many{H1755} generations.{H1755}

A fire{H784} devoureth{H398} before{H6440} them; and behind{H310} them a flame{H3852} burneth:{H3857} the land{H776} is as the garden{H1588} of Eden{H5731} before{H6440} them, and behind{H310} them a desolate{H8077} wilderness;{H4057} yea, and none hath escaped{H6413} them.

The appearance{H4758} of them is as the appearance{H4758} of horses;{H5483} and as horsemen,{H6571} so do they run.{H7323}

Like the noise{H6963} of chariots{H4818} on the tops{H7218} of the mountains{H2022} do they leap,{H7540} like the noise{H6963} of a flame{H3851} of fire{H784} that devoureth{H398} the stubble,{H7179} as a strong{H6099} people{H5971} set in battle{H4421} array.{H6186}

At their presence{H6440} the peoples{H5971} are in anguish;{H2342} all faces{H6440} are waxed{H6908} pale.{H6289}

They run{H7323} like mighty men;{H1368} they climb{H5927} the wall{H2346} like men{H582} of war;{H4421} and they march{H3212} every one{H376} on his ways,{H1870} and they break{H5670} not their ranks.{H734}

Neither doth one{H376} thrust{H1766} another;{H251} they march{H3212} every one{H1397} in his path;{H4546} and they burst through{H5307} the weapons,{H7973} and break{H1214} not off [their course].

They leap{H8264} upon the city;{H5892} they run{H7323} upon the wall;{H2346} they climb up{H5927} into the houses;{H1004} they enter in{H935} at the windows{H2474} like a thief.{H1590}

The earth{H776} quaketh{H7264} before{H6440} them; the heavens{H8064} tremble;{H7493} the sun{H8121} and the moon{H3394} are darkened,{H6937} and the stars{H3556} withdraw{H622} their shining.{H5051}

And Jehovah{H3068} uttereth{H5414} his voice{H6963} before{H6440} his army;{H2428} for his camp{H4264} is very{H3966} great;{H7227} for he is strong{H6099} that executeth{H6213} his word;{H1697} for the day{H3117} of Jehovah{H3068} is great{H1419} and very{H3966} terrible;{H3372} and who can abide{H3557} it?

Yet even now, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} turn{H7725} ye unto me with all your heart,{H3824} and with fasting,{H6685} and with weeping,{H1065} and with mourning:{H4553}

and rend{H7167} your heart,{H3824} and not your garments,{H899} and turn{H7725} unto Jehovah{H3068} your God;{H430} for he is gracious{H2587} and merciful,{H7349} slow{H750} to anger,{H639} and abundant{H7227} in lovingkindness,{H2617} and repenteth{H5162} him of the evil.{H7451}

Who knoweth{H3045} whether he will not turn{H7725} and repent,{H5162} and leave{H7604} a blessing{H1293} behind{H310} him, even a meal-offering{H4503} and a drink-offering{H5262} unto Jehovah{H3068} your God?{H430}

Blow{H8628} the trumpet{H7782} in Zion,{H6726} sanctify{H6942} a fast,{H6685} call{H7121} a solemn assembly;{H6116}

gather{H622} the people,{H5971} sanctify{H6942} the assembly,{H6951} assemble{H6908} the old{H2205} men, gather{H622} the children,{H5768} and those that suck{H3243} the breasts;{H7699} let the bridegroom{H2860} go forth{H3318} from his chamber,{H2315} and the bride{H3618} out of her closet.{H2646}

Let the priests,{H3548} the ministers{H8334} of Jehovah,{H3068} weep{H1058} between the porch{H197} and the altar,{H4196} and let them say,{H559} Spare{H2347} thy people,{H5971} O Jehovah,{H3068} and give{H5414} not thy heritage{H5159} to reproach,{H2781} that the nations{H1471} should rule over{H4910} them: wherefore should they say{H559} among the peoples,{H5971} Where is their God?{H430}

Then was Jehovah{H3068} jealous{H7065} for his land,{H776} and had pity{H2550} on his people.{H5971}

And Jehovah{H3068} answered{H6030} and said{H559} unto his people,{H5971} Behold, I will send{H7971} you grain,{H1715} and new wine,{H8492} and oil,{H3323} and ye shall be satisfied{H7646} therewith; and I will no more make{H5414} you a reproach{H2781} among the nations;{H1471}

but I will remove far off{H7368} from you the northern{H6830} army, and will drive{H5080} it into a land{H776} barren{H6723} and desolate,{H8077} its forepart{H6440} into the eastern{H6931} sea,{H3220} and its hinder part{H5490} into the western{H314} sea;{H3220} and its stench{H889} shall come up,{H5927} and its ill savor{H6709} shall come up,{H5927} because it hath done{H6213} great things.{H1431}

Fear{H3372} not, O land,{H127} be glad{H1523} and rejoice;{H8055} for Jehovah{H3068} hath done{H6213} great things.{H1431}

Be not afraid,{H3372} ye beasts{H929} of the field;{H7704} for the pastures{H4999} of the wilderness{H4057} do spring,{H1876} for the tree{H6086} beareth{H5375} its fruit,{H6529} the fig-tree{H8384} and the vine{H1612} do yield{H5414} their strength.{H2428}

Be glad{H1523} then, ye children{H1121} of Zion,{H6726} and rejoice{H8055} in Jehovah{H3068} your God;{H430} for he giveth{H5414} you the former rain{H4175} in just measure,{H6666} and he causeth to come down{H3381} for you the rain,{H1653} the former rain{H4175} and the latter rain,{H4456} in the first{H7223} month.

And the floors{H1637} shall be full{H4390} of wheat,{H1250} and the vats{H3342} shall overflow{H7783} with new wine{H8492} and oil.{H3323}

And I will restore{H7999} to you the years{H8141} that the locust{H697} hath eaten,{H398} the canker-worm,{H3218} and the caterpillar,{H2625} and the palmer-worm,{H1501} my great{H1419} army{H2428} which I sent{H7971} among you.

And ye shall eat{H398} in plenty{H398} and be satisfied,{H7646} and shall praise{H1984} the name{H8034} of Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} that hath dealt{H6213} wondrously{H6381} with you; and my people{H5971} shall never{H5769} be put to shame.{H954}

And ye shall know{H3045} that I am in the midst{H7130} of Israel,{H3478} and that I am Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} and there is none else; and my people{H5971} shall never{H5769} be put to shame.{H954}

And it shall come to pass afterward,{H310} that I will pour out{H8210} my Spirit{H7307} upon all flesh;{H1320} and your sons{H1121} and your daughters{H1323} shall prophesy,{H5012} your old men{H2205} shall dream{H2492} dreams,{H2472} your young men{H970} shall see{H7200} visions:{H2384}

and also upon the servants{H5650} and upon the handmaids{H8198} in those days{H3117} will I pour out{H8210} my Spirit.{H7307}

And I will show{H5414} wonders{H4159} in the heavens{H8064} and in the earth:{H776} blood,{H1818} and fire,{H784} and pillars{H8490} of smoke.{H6227}

The sun{H8121} shall be turned{H2015} into darkness,{H2822} and the moon{H3394} into blood,{H1818} before{H6440} the great{H1419} and terrible{H3372} day{H3117} of Jehovah{H3068} cometh.{H935}

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call{H7121} on the name{H8034} of Jehovah{H3068} shall be delivered;{H4422} for in mount{H2022} Zion{H6726} and in Jerusalem{H3389} there shall be those that escape,{H6413} as Jehovah{H3068} hath said,{H559} and among the remnant{H8300} those whom Jehovah{H3068} doth call.{H7121}
