V.1 Blow 8628-3 ye the trumpet 7782 in Zion, 6726 and sound an alarm 7321-54 in my holy 6944 mountain: 2022 let all the inhabitants 3427-6 of the land 776 tremble: 7264-4 for the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 cometh, 935-1 for [it is] nigh at hand; 7138

2:2 A day 3117 of darkness 2822 and of gloominess, 653 a day 3117 of clouds 6051 and of thick darkness, 6205 as the morning 7837 spread 6566-7 upon the mountains: 2022 a great 7227 people 5971 and a strong; 6099 there hath not been 1961- 8 ever 5769 the like, neither shall be any more 3254-55 after 310 it, [even] to the years 8141 of many 1755 generations. 1755

2:3 A fire 784 devoureth 398-1 before 6440 them; and behind 310 them a flame 3852 burneth: 3857-17 the land 776 [is] as the garden 1588 of Eden 5731 before 6440 them, and behind 310 them a desolate 8077 wilderness; 4057 yea, and nothing shall escape 6413 them.

2:4 The appearance 4758 of them [is] as the appearance 4758 of horses; 5483 and as horsemen, 6571 so shall they run. 7323-4

2:5 Like the noise 6963 of chariots 4818 on the tops 7218 of mountains 2022 shall they leap, 7540-17 like the noise 6963 of a flame 3851 of fire 784 that devoureth 398-6 the stubble, 7179 as a strong 6099 people 5971 set in battle 4421 array. 6186-7

2:6 Before their face 6440 the people 5971 shall be much pained: 2342-4 all faces 6440 shall gather 6908-14 blackness. 6289

2:7 They shall run 7323-4 like mighty men; 1368 they shall climb 5927-4 the wall 2346 like men 582 of war; 4421 and they shall march 3212-4 every one 376 on his ways, 1870 and they shall not break 5670-17 their ranks: 734

2:8 Neither shall one 376 thrust 1766-4 another; 251 they shall walk 3212-4 every one 1397 in his path: 4546 and [when] they fall 5307-4 upon the sword, 7973 they shall not be wounded. 1214-4

2:9 They shall run to and fro 8264-4 in the city; 5892 they shall run 7323-4 upon the wall, 2346 they shall climb up 5927-4 upon the houses; 1004 they shall enter in 935-4 at the windows 2474 like a thief. 1590

2:10 The earth 776 shall quake 7264-1 before 6440 them; the heavens 8064 shall tremble: 7493-1 the sun 8121 and the moon 3394 shall be dark, 6937-1 and the stars 3556 shall withdraw 622-1 their shining: 5051

2:11 And the LORD 3068 shall utter 5414-1 his voice 6963 before 6440 his army: 2428 for his camp 4264 [is] very 3966 great: 7227 for [he is] strong 6099 that executeth 6213-6 his word: 1697 for the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 [is] great 1419 and very 3966 terrible; 3372-12 and who can abide 3557-55 it?

2:12 Therefore also now, saith 5002-7 the LORD, 3068 turn 7725-3 ye [even] to me with all your heart, 3824 and with fasting, 6685 and with weeping, 1065 and with mourning: 4553

2:13 And rend 7167-3 your heart, 3824 and not your garments, 899 and turn 7725-3 unto the LORD 3068 your God: 430 for he [is] gracious 2587 and merciful, 7349 slow 750 to anger, 639 and of great 7227 kindness, 2617 and repenteth 5162-12 him of the evil. 7451

2:14 Who knoweth 3045-6 [if] he will return 7725-4 and repent, 5162-8 and leave 7604-52 a blessing 1293 behind 310 him; [even] a meat offering 4503 and a drink offering 5262 unto the LORD 3068 your God? 430

2:15 Blow 8628-3 the trumpet 7782 in Zion, 6726 sanctify 6942-16 a fast, 6685 call 7121-3 a solemn assembly: 6116

2:16 Gather 622-3 the people, 5971 sanctify 6942-16 the congregation, 6951 assemble 6908-3 the elders, 2205 gather 622-3 the children, 5768 and those that suck 3243-6 the breasts: 7699 let the bridegroom 2860 go forth 3318-4 of his chamber, 2315 and the bride 3618 out of her closet. 2646

2:17 Let the priests, 3548 the ministers 8334-18 of the LORD, 3068 weep 1058-4 between the porch 197 and the altar, 4196 and let them say, 559-4 Spare 2347-3 thy people, 5971 O LORD, 3068 and give 5414-4 not thine heritage 5159 to reproach, 2781 that the heathen 1471 should rule 4910-2 over them: wherefore should they say 559-4 among the people, 5971 Where [is] their God? 430

2:18 Then will the LORD 3068 be jealous 7065-17 for his land, 776 and pity 2550-4 his people. 5971

2:19 Yea, the LORD 3068 will answer 6030-4 and say 559-4 unto his people, 5971 Behold, I will send 7971-6 you corn, 1715 and wine, 8492 and oil, 3323 and ye shall be satisfied 7646-1 therewith: and I will no more make 5414-4 you a reproach 2781 among the heathen: 1471

2:20 But I will remove far off 7368-55 from you the northern 6830 [army], and will drive 5080-52 him into a land 776 barren 6723 and desolate, 8077 with his face 6440 toward the east 6931 sea, 3220 and his hinder part 5490 toward the utmost 314 sea, 3220 and his stink 889 shall come up, 5927-1 and his ill savour 6709 shall come up, 5927-4 because he hath done 6213-2 great things. 1431-52

2:21 Fear 3372-4 not, O land; 127 be glad 1523-3 and rejoice: 8055-3 for the LORD 3068 will do 6213-2 great things. 1431-52

2:22 Be not afraid, 3372-4 ye beasts 929 of the field: 7704 for the pastures 4999 of the wilderness 4057 do spring, 1876- 1 for the tree 6086 beareth 5375-1 her fruit, 6529 the fig tree 8384 and the vine 1612 do yield 5414-1 their strength. 2428

2:23 Be glad 1523-3 then, ye children 1121 of Zion, 6726 and rejoice 8055-3 in the LORD 3068 your God: 430 for he hath given 5414-1 you the former rain 4175 moderately, 6666 and he will cause to come down 3381-55 for you the rain, 1653 the former rain, 4175 and the latter rain 4456 in the first 7223 [month].

2:24 And the floors 1637 shall be full 4390-1 of wheat, 1250 and the fats 3342 shall overflow 7783-52 with wine 8492 and oil. 3323

2:25 And I will restore 7999-14 to you the years 8141 that the locust 697 hath eaten, 398-1 the cankerworm, 3218 and the caterpiller, 2625 and the palmerworm, 1501 my great 1419 army 2428 which I sent 7971-14 among you.

2:26 And ye shall eat 398-1 in plenty, 398-2 and be satisfied, 7646-2 and praise 1984-14 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 your God, 430 that hath dealt 6213-1 wondrously 6381-53 with you: and my people 5971 shall never 3808 5769 be ashamed. 954-4

2:27 And ye shall know 3045-1 that I [am] in the midst 7130 of Israel, 3478 and [that] I [am] the LORD 3068 your God, 430 and none else: and my people 5971 shall never 3808 5769 be ashamed. 954-4

2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, 310 [that] I will pour out 8210-4 my spirit 7307 upon all flesh; 1320 and your sons 1121 and your daughters 1323 shall prophesy, 5012-8 your old men 2205 shall dream 2492-4 dreams, 2472 your young men 970 shall see 7200-4 visions: 2384

2:29 And also upon the servants 5650 and upon the handmaids 8198 in those days 3117 will I pour out 8210-4 my spirit. 7307

2:30 And I will shew 5414-1 wonders 4159 in the heavens 8064 and in the earth, 776 blood, 1818 and fire, 784 and pillars 8490 of smoke. 6227

2:31 The sun 8121 shall be turned 2015-11 into darkness, 2822 and the moon 3394 into blood, 1818 before 6440 the great 1419 and the terrible 3372-12 day 3117 of the LORD 3068 come. 935- 2
