Joel 2 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 BLOW THE trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on My holy Mount Zion. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the judgment of the Lord is coming; it is close at hand--Ezek. 7:2-4; Amos 5:16-20.
2 A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and of thick mists and darkness, like the morning dawn spread upon the mountains; so there comes a heathen, hostile people numerous and mighty, the like of which has never been before and shall not be again even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has escaped the ravages of the devouring hordes.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses and horsemen, so do they run.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains they leap--like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a mighty people set in battle array. Rev. 9:7, 9.
6 Before them the peoples are in anguish; all faces become pale.
7 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war. They march each one straight ahead on his ways, and they do not break their ranks.
8 Neither does one thrust upon another; they walk every one in his path. And they burst through and upon the weapons, yet they are not wounded and do not change their course.
9 They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up on and into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining. Rev. 9:2-4; 16:14.
11 And the Lord utters His voice before His army, for His host is very great, and they are strong and powerful who execute God's word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can endure it? Isa. 26:20, 21; 34:1-4, 8; Rev. 6:16, 17.
12 Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored.
13 Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil when His conditions are met.
14 Who knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence of evil, and leave a blessing behind Him giving you the means with which to serve Him, even a cereal or meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast a day of restraint and humility; call a solemn assembly.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and the nursing infants; let the bridegroom who is legally exempt from attending go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. None is exempt from the humiliation.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the heathen nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
18 Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people.
19 Yes, the Lord answered and said to His people, Behold, I am sending you grain and juice of the grape and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen nations.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern destroyer's army and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, with its front toward the eastern Dead Sea and with its rear toward the western Mediterranean Sea. And its stench shall come up like that of a decaying mass of locusts, a symbol and forecast of the fate of the northern army in the final day of the Lord, and its foul odor shall come up, because He has done great things the Lord will have destroyed the invaders! Isa. 34:1-4, 8; Jer. 25:31-35; Joel 2:11.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things! Zech. 12:8-10.
22 Be not afraid, you wild beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness have sprung up and are green; the tree bears its fruit, and the fig tree and the vine yield their full strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He gives you the former or early rain in just measure and in righteousness, and He causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
24 And the threshing floors shall be full of grain and the vats shall overflow with juice of the grape and oil.
25 And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten--the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.
27 And you shall know, understand, and realize that I am in the midst of Israel and that I the Lord am your God and there is none else. My people shall never be put to shame.
28 And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
29 Even upon the menservants and upon the maidservants in those days will I pour out My Spirit.
30 And I will show signs and wonders in the heavens, and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. Isa. 13:6, 9-11; 24:21-23; Ezek. 32:7-10; Matt. 24:29, 30; Rev. 6:12-17.
32 And whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered and saved, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the remnant of survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls. Acts 2:17-21; Rom. 10:13.
1 Blow H8628 ye the trumpet H7782 in Zion H6726 , and sound an alarm H7321 in my holy H6944 mountain H2022 : let all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS tremble H7264 : for H3588 CONJ the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS cometh H935 , for H3588 CONJ it is nigh at hand H7138 ;
2 A day H3117 NMS of darkness H2822 NMS and of gloominess H653 , a day H3117 NMS of clouds H6051 NMS and of thick darkness H6205 W-NMS , as the morning H7837 spread H6566 upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 : a great H7227 AMS people H5971 NMS and a strong H6099 ; there hath not H3808 NADV been H1961 ever H5769 the like H3644 PART-3MS , neither H3808 NADV shall be any more H3254 after H310 it , even to H5704 PREP the years H8141 of many generations H1755 .
3 A fire H784 CMS devoureth H398 VQQ3FS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them ; and behind H310 W-PREP-3MS them a flame H3852 burneth H3857 VPY3FS : the land H776 D-GFS is as the garden H1588 K-CMS of Eden H5731 GFS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them , and behind H310 them a desolate H8077 wilderness H4057 ; yea H1571 W-CONJ , and nothing H3808 NADV shall escape H6413 them .
4 The appearance H4758 of them is as the appearance H4758 CMS-3MS of horses H5483 ; and as horsemen H6571 , so H3651 ADV shall they run H7323 .
5 Like the noise H6963 of chariots H4818 on H5921 PREP the tops H7218 CMP of mountains H2022 shall they leap H7540 , like the noise H6963 of a flame H3851 CMS of fire H784 CMS that devoureth H398 the stubble H7179 , as a strong H6099 people H5971 set in battle array H6186 .
6 Before their face H6440 M-CMP-3MS the people H5971 NMP shall be much pained H2342 : all H3605 NMS faces H6440 NMP shall gather H6908 blackness H6289 .
7 They shall run H7323 like mighty men H1368 ; they shall climb H5927 the wall H2346 like men H376 of war H4421 NFS ; and they shall march H1980 every one H376 W-NMS on his ways H1870 , and they shall not H3808 W-NPAR break H5670 their ranks H734 :
8 Neither H3808 NADV shall one H376 W-NMS thrust H1766 another H251 CMS-3MS ; they shall walk H1980 every one H1397 NMS in his path H4546 : and when they fall H5307 upon H1157 W-PREP the sword H7973 , they shall not H3808 NADV be wounded H1214 .
9 They shall run to and fro H8264 in the city H5892 BD-NFS ; they shall run H7323 upon the wall H2346 , they shall climb up H5927 upon the houses H1004 ; they shall enter in H935 VQY3MP at H1157 PREP the windows H2474 like a thief H1590 KD-NMS .
10 The earth H776 GFS shall quake H7264 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them ; the heavens H8064 NMS shall tremble H7493 : the sun H8121 and the moon H3394 W-NMS shall be dark H6937 , and the stars H3556 W-NMP shall withdraw H622 their shining H5051 :
11 And the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS shall utter H5414 VQQ3MS his voice H6963 before H6440 L-CMP his army H2428 : for H3588 CONJ his camp H4264 is very H3966 ADV great H7227 AMS : for H3588 CONJ he is strong H6099 that executeth H6213 his word H1697 : for H3588 CONJ the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS is great H1419 and very H3966 ADV terrible H3372 ; and who H4310 W-IPRO can abide H3557 it ?
12 Therefore also H1571 W-CONJ now H6258 ADV , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , turn H7725 ye even to H5704 me with all H3605 B-CMS your heart H3824 , and with fasting H6685 , and with weeping H1065 , and with mourning H4553 :
13 And rend H7167 your heart H3824 , and not H408 W-NPAR your garments H899 , and turn H7725 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is gracious H2587 AMS and merciful H7349 W-AMS , slow H750 JMS to anger H639 NMD , and of great H7227 W-JMS kindness H2617 NMS , and repenteth H5162 W-VNPMS him of H5921 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS .
14 Who H4310 IPRO knoweth H3045 VQPMS if he will return H7725 VQY3MS and repent H5162 W-VNPMS , and leave H7604 a blessing H1293 behind H310 him ; even a meat offering H4503 NFS and a drink offering H5262 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS your God H430 ?
15 Blow H8628 the trumpet H7782 in Zion H6726 , sanctify H6942 a fast H6685 NMS , call H7121 a solemn assembly H6116 :
16 Gather H622 the people H5971 NMS , sanctify H6942 the congregation H6951 , assemble H6908 the elders H2205 AMP , gather H622 the children H5768 , and those that suck H3243 the breasts H7699 : let the bridegroom H2860 go forth H3318 VQY3MS of his chamber H2315 , and the bride H3618 out of her closet H2646 .
17 Let the priests H3548 , the ministers H8334 of the LORD H3068 EDS , weep H1058 between H996 PREP the porch H197 and the altar H4196 , and let them say H559 , Spare H2347 thy people H5971 , O LORD H3068 EDS , and give H5414 VQY2MS not H408 W-NPAR thine heritage H5159 to reproach H2781 , that the heathen H1471 NMP should rule H4910 over them : wherefore H4100 L-IPRO should they say H559 VQY3MP among the people H5971 , Where H346 IGAT is their God H430 ?
18 Then will the LORD H3068 EDS be jealous H7065 for his land H776 L-CFS-3MS , and pity H2550 his people H5971 .
19 Yea , the LORD H3068 EDS will answer H6030 W-VQY3MS and say H559 W-VQY3MS unto his people H5971 , Behold H2009 , I will send H7971 you corn H1715 , and wine H8492 , and oil H3323 , and ye shall be satisfied H7646 therewith H854 : and I will no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV make H5414 VQY1MS you a reproach H2781 among the heathen H1471 :
20 But I will remove far off H7368 from you the northern H6830 army , and will drive H5080 him into H413 PREP a land H776 GFS barren H6723 NFS and desolate H8077 , with H854 PREP his face H6440 CMP-3MS toward H413 PREP the east H6931 sea H3220 D-NMS , and his hinder part H5490 toward H413 PREP the utmost H314 sea H3220 D-NMS , and his stink H889 shall come up H5927 , and his ill savor H6709 shall come up H5927 , because H3588 CONJ he hath done H6213 great things H1431 .
21 Fear H3372 not H408 NPAR , O land H127 ; be glad H1523 and rejoice H8055 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will do H6213 great things H1431 .
22 Be not afraid H3372 , ye beasts H929 of the field H7704 : for H3588 CONJ the pastures H4999 of the wilderness H4057 NMS do spring H1876 , for H3588 CONJ the tree H6086 NMS beareth H5375 VQQ3MS her fruit H6529 , the fig tree H8384 and the vine H1612 do yield H5414 their strength H2428 .
23 Be glad H1523 then , ye children H1121 W-CMP of Zion H6726 , and rejoice H8055 in the LORD H3068 your God H430 : for H3588 CONJ he hath given H5414 VQQ3MS you the former rain H4175 moderately H6666 , and he will cause to come down H3381 for you the rain H1653 , the former rain H4175 , and the latter rain H4456 in the first H7223 month .
24 And the floors H1637 shall be full H4390 of wheat H1250 , and the fats H3342 shall overflow H7783 with wine H8492 and oil H3323 .
25 And I will restore H7999 to you the years H8141 that H834 RPRO the locust H697 hath eaten H398 VQQ3MS , the cankerworm H3218 , and the caterpillar H2625 , and the palmerworm H1501 , my great H1419 D-AMS army H2428 which H834 RPRO I sent H7971 among you .
26 And ye shall eat in plenty H398 , and be satisfied H7646 , and praise H1984 the name H8034 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , that H834 RPRO hath dealt H6213 VQQ3MS wondrously H6381 with H5973 PREP-3MP you : and my people H5971 shall never H3808 W-NPAR be ashamed H954 .
27 And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 W-PPRO-1MS am in the midst H7130 of Israel H3478 , and that I H589 W-PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , and none H369 W-NPAR else H5750 ADV : and my people H5971 shall never H3808 W-NPAR be ashamed H954 .
28 And it shall come to pass H1961 afterward H310 PREP , that I will pour out H8210 my spirit H7307 CFS-1MS upon H5921 PREP all H3605 flesh H1320 NMS ; 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 :
29 And also H1571 W-CONJ upon H5921 PREP the servants H5650 and upon H5921 PREP the handmaids H8198 in those H1992 days H3117 BD-NMP will I pour out H8210 my spirit H7307 CMS-1MS .
30 And I will show H5414 wonders H4159 in the heavens H8064 BD-NMP and in the earth H776 , blood H1818 NMS , and fire H784 , and pillars H8490 of smoke H6227 .
31 The sun H8121 D-NMS shall be turned H2015 into darkness H2822 , and the moon H3394 into blood H1818 L-NMS , before H6440 the great H1419 D-AMS and the terrible H3372 day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS come H935 VQFC .
32 And it shall come to pass H1961 , that whosoever H3605 NMS shall call H7121 VQY3MS on the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS shall be delivered H4422 : for H3588 in mount H2022 Zion H6726 and in Jerusalem H3389 shall be H1961 VQY2MS deliverance H6413 , as H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath said H559 VQQ3MS , and in the remnant H8300 whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS shall call H7121 .
