Joel 2:11

And the locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt; they were very heavy. There had never been so many locusts, nor would there be so many again.

The nations roar, the kingdoms shake; He gives His voice, the earth melts.

“Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them, ‘Yahweh will roar from on high And give forth His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His pasture. He will bellow a shout like those who tread the grapes, Against all the inhabitants of the earth.

‘Alas! For that day is great, There is none like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s distress, But he will be saved from it.

For a nation has come up against my land, Mighty and without number; Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, And it has the fangs of a lioness.

Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Blow a trumpet in Zion, And make a loud shout on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of Yahweh is coming; Surely it is near,

A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of clouds and dense gloom. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a numerous and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it For the years from generation to generation.

“Then I will pay back to you in full for the years That the swarming locust has consumed, The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust, My great military force which I sent among you.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision.

And Yahweh roars from Zion And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and the earth quake. But Yahweh is a refuge for His people And a strong defense to the sons of Israel.

Woe, you who are longing for the day of Yahweh, For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you? It will be darkness and not light;

“For the day of Yahweh draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head.

Near is the great day of Yahweh, Near and coming very quickly; O the sound, the day of Yahweh! In it the mighty man cries out bitterly.

Yahweh will be fearsome to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
