Hear this, you elders;
listen, all you inhabitants of the land.
Has anything like this ever happened in your days
or in the days of your ancestors?

Yea, a mighty and an innumerable people shall come up into my land: these have teeth like the teeth of Lions, and chaftbones like the lioness.

Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

Ah! For the day! For the day of Yahweh is near. It will come like destruction from Shaddai.

a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.

Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.

They are to look upon like bairded horses, and run like horsemen.

Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks.

They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.

“But I will remove the northern army far away from you,
And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land,
With its forward guard into the eastern sea (Dead Sea)
And with its rear guard into the western sea (Mediterranean Sea).
And its stench will arise and its foul odor of decay will come up [this is the fate of the northern army in the final day of the Lord],
For He has done great things.”

And the time shall come: that whosoever calleth upon the name of the LORD, shall be saved. For upon the mount Zion and at Jerusalem, there shall be a salvation, like as the LORD hath promised. Yea, and among the other remnant, whom the LORD shall call.
