JOEL
- They shall walk every one in his path:
- And when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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?
- Therefore also now, saith the Lord,
- Turn ye even to me with all your heart,
- And with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
- And rend your heart, and not your garments,
- And turn unto the Lord your God:
- For he is gracious and merciful,
- Slow to anger, and of great kindness,
- And repenteth him of the evil.
- Who knoweth if he will return and repent,
- And leave a blessing behind him;
