Bible. Joel
29:001:018 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed,
because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are
made desolate.
29:001:019 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the
pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the
trees of the field.
29:001:020 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of
waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures
of the wilderness.
29:002:001 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the
day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
29:002:002 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of
thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a
great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,
neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations.
29:002:003 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them
a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
29:002:004 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as
horsemen, so shall they run.
29:002:005 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they
leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the
stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
29:002:006 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces
shall gather blackness.
29:002:007 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like
men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and
they shall not break their ranks:
29:002:008 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in
his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be
wounded.
29:002:009 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the
wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in
at the windows like a thief.
29:002:010 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble:
the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall
withdraw their shining:
29:002:011 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his
camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word:
for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who
can abide it?
29:002:012 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with
all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with
mourning:
