Gioele 2

1Blow the trumpet in Zion, 2It is a day of darkness and gloom, 3A fire is consuming everything in front of it, 4The army's appearance is like horses, 5They jump with a noise like that of chariots on the tops of the mountains, 6At their presence people are in anguish 7They run like mighty warriors; 8Neither does one thrust another aside; 9They rush on the city, 10The earth shakes in front of them, 11Yahweh raises his voice in front of his army, 12“Yet even now,” says Yahweh, 13Tear your heart and not only your garments, 14Who knows? Will he perhaps turn and have compassion, 15Blow the trumpet in Zion, 16Gather the people, 17Let the priests, the servants of Yahweh, 18Then Yahweh was zealous for his land 19Yahweh answered his people, 20I will remove the northern attackers far from you, 21Do not fear, land, be glad and rejoice, 22Do not fear, beasts of the field, 23Be glad, people of Zion, 24The threshing floors will be full of wheat, 25“I will restore to you the years of crops that the swarming locust has eaten 26You will eat plentifully and be full, 27You will know that I am among Israel, 28It will come about afterward that 29Also on servants and female servants, 30I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, 31The sun will turn into darkness
