proclaim His deeds among the nations.
The towns
because of Your judgments.
which You purchased long ago
and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession.
Remember Mount Zion where You dwell.
and come to Zion with singing,
crowned with unending joy.
Joy and gladness will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee.
turning their faces to this road.
They will come and join themselves
in an everlasting covenant

Let all the residents of the land tremble,
for the Day of the Lord is coming;

Days » Times of adversity called day of the lord
against all that is proud and lofty,
against all that is lifted up—it will be humbled—
sound the alarm on My holy mountain!
Let all the residents of the land tremble,
for the Day of the Lord is coming;
in fact, it is near—
a day belonging to the Lord is near.
It will be a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
It will come like destruction from the Almighty.
cruel, with rage and burning anger—
to make the earth a desolation
and to destroy the sinners on it.
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.
a day of vengeance to avenge Himself
against His adversaries.
The sword will devour and be satisfied;
it will drink its fill of their blood,
because it will be a sacrifice
in the northern land by the Euphrates River.
ת TavYou summoned my attackers on every side,
as if for an appointed festival day;
on the day of the Lord’s anger
no one escaped or survived.
My enemy has destroyed
those I nurtured and reared.

What will the Day of the Lord be for you?
It will be darkness and not light.
against all the nations.
As you have done,
what you deserve will return on your own head.
I will punish the officials, the king’s sons,
and all who are dressed in foreign clothing.
will not be able to rescue them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.
The whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of His jealousy.
For He will make a complete,
yes, a horrifying end
of all the inhabitants of the earth.
before the decree takes effect and the day passes like chaff, before the burning of the Lord's anger overtakes you, before the day of the Lord's anger overtakes you. Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth, who carry out what He commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be concealed on the day of the Lord's anger.
Joel » declares » God's judgment
Blow the horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the residents of the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; in fact, it is near- a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and dense overcast, like the dawn spreading over the mountains; a great and strong people [appears], such as never existed in ages past and never will again in all the generations to come. A fire destroys in front of them, and behind them a flame devours. The land in front of them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland; there is no escape from them. read more.
Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like war horses. They bound on the tops of the mountains. Their sound is like the sound of chariots, like the sound of fiery flames consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for war. Nations writhe in horror before them; all faces turn pale. They attack as warriors [attack]; they scale walls as men of war [do]. Each goes on his own path, and they do not change their course. They do not push each other; each man proceeds on his own path. They dodge the missiles, never stopping. They storm the city; they run on the wall; they climb into the houses; they enter through the windows like thieves. The earth quakes before them; the sky shakes. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars cease their shining. The Lord raises His voice in the presence of His army. His camp is very large; Those who carry out His command are powerful. Indeed, the Day of the Lord is terrible and dreadful- who can endure it?
