Joel 1:15 (Listen)

15 Alas for the day!

bFor the day of the Lord is near,

and as destruction from the Almighty1 it comes.

[1] 1:15 Destruction sounds like the Hebrew for Almighty

2 jBlow a trumpet in kZion;

sound an alarm on kmy holy mountain!

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,

for lthe day of the Lord is coming; it is near,

11 cThe Lord utters his voice

before dhis army,

for his camp is exceedingly great;

ehe who executes his word is powerful.

fFor the day of the Lord is ggreat and very awesome;

hwho can endure it?

31 cThe sun shall be turned to darkness, dand the moon to blood, ebefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
