NET Bible
"The earth quakes before them; the sky reverberates. The sun and the moon grow dark; the stars refuse to shine."
— Joel 2:10, NET Bible
“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:”
“The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. ”
“The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.”
“At their presence the earth hath trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.”
“The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:”
“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:”
They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. Each one proceeds on his course; they do not alter their path.
They do not jostle one another; each of them marches straight ahead. They burst through the city defenses and do not break ranks.
They rush into the city; they scale its walls. They climb up into the houses; they go in through the windows like a thief.
The earth quakes before them; the sky reverberates. The sun and the moon grow dark; the stars refuse to shine.
The voice of the LORD thunders as he leads his army. Indeed, his warriors are innumerable; Surely his command is carried out! Yes, the day of the LORD is awesome and very terrifying– who can survive it?
An Appeal for Repentance“Yet even now,” the LORD says,“return to me with all your heart– with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
Tear your hearts, not just your garments!” Return to the LORD your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and boundless in loyal love– often relenting from calamitous punishment.
