Berean Standard Bible
Blow ye
a
trumpet
in Zion ,
And
shout
ye
in
My holy hill,
Tremble
do
all inhabitants
of
the earth
, For coming
is
the day of Jehovah
, for
`
it is '
near !
Blow the
ram’s
horn
in Zion ;
sound
the
alarm
on
My holy mountain!
Let
all who
dwell
in
the land
tremble
, for the Day of the
LORD
is
coming;
indeed
, it is near —
A day of darkness and thick
darkness
, A day of cloud
and thick
darkness,
As
darkness
spread
on
the mountains ,
A people
numerous
and mighty
, Like
it
there
hath
not
been
from
of old, And
after
it
there
is
not
again
--
till
the
years
of
generation
and
generation
.
a day of darkness and gloom
, a day of clouds
and blackness.
Like
the dawn
overspreading
the
mountains a great
and strong
army
appears
, such
as
never
was
of old, nor
will
ever
be
in
ages
to
come
.
Before it
consumed
hath
fire, And after
it
burn
doth
a flame ,
As
the garden of Eden `is'
the
land
before
it
, And
after
it a
wilderness
--
a desolation!
And
also
an
escape there
hath
not
been
to
it,
Before them
a
fire devours
, and behind
them
a flame scorches.
The land
before
them
is
like
the
Garden of Eden, but
behind
them,
it is
like
a desert
wasteland—
surely
nothing
will
escape them.
As
the
appearance of horses `is'
its
appearance
, And as
horsemen,
so
they run
.
Their
appearance is
like
that
of horses, and they gallop
like
swift
steeds
.
As
the
noise
of chariots ,
on
the
tops
of
the
mountains
they skip
, As
the noise
of
a
flame
of fire devouring
stubble, As
a mighty people
set
in
array
for battle.
With
a
sound
like
that
of chariots they bound
over
the
mountaintops
, like
the crackling
of fire consuming
stubble, like
a mighty army
deployed
for battle.
From
its
face pained
are
peoples,
All
faces
have
gathered
paleness
.
Nations
writhe
in
horror
before
them;
every
face turns
pale
.
As
mighty ones
they run,
As
men of war they
go
up
a
wall,
And
each in his
own
ways
they
do
go
, And
they
embarrass
not their
paths
.
They
charge
like
mighty men;
they scale
the
walls
like
men of war .
Each one
marches
in formation
, not swerving
from
the
course
.
And
each
his
brother
they press
not ,
Each in his way
they go
on,
If
by
the missile
they
fall
, they
are
not
cut
off
.
They do
not jostle
one
another;
each proceeds
in his path.
They burst
through
the defenses
, never
breaking
ranks
.
In
the city they run to
and
fro,
On
the wall they run,
Into houses they
go
up
by
the
windows
, They
go
in
as
a
thief
.
They
storm
the city ;
they run along
the wall ;
they climb
into houses, entering
through
windows
like
thieves
.
At
their
face
trembled
hath
the earth ,
Shaken
have
the heavens ,
Sun and moon have
been
black
, And stars have
gathered
up
their shining
.
Before
them
the earth quakes;
the heavens tremble.
The
sun and moon grow
dark
, and the
stars lose
their brightness
.
And
Jehovah
hath
given
forth
His voice before
His force
, For
very
great
`is'
His camp, For mighty `is'
the
doer
of
His word,
For great
`is'
the day of Jehovah
--
very
fearful,
And who doth
bear
it?
The
LORD
raises
His voice in
the
presence
of
His army.
Indeed
, His camp is
very
large
, for mighty are
those
who
obey
His command.
For the Day of the
LORD
is
great
and very
dreadful.
Who can
endure
it?
And
also
now --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Turn
ye
back
unto
Me with all your heart, And
with fasting, and
with
weeping, And with
lamentation
.
“Yet
even
now, ”
declares
the
LORD,
“return
to
Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning
. ”
And
rend your heart,
and not your garments, And turn
back
unto
Jehovah
your God ,
For gracious and merciful
`is'
He
, Slow to anger, and
abundant
in kindness,
And He hath
repented
concerning
the
evil
.
So
rend your hearts
and not your garments, and return
to
the
LORD
your God .
For He
is
gracious and compassionate
, slow to anger, abounding
in loving
devotion.
And He relents
from
sending
disaster
.
Who knoweth
--
He doth
turn back,
Yea
--
He
hath
repented,
And He
hath
left
behind
Him
a blessing ,
A
present
and libation
of
Jehovah
your God ?
Who knows?
He may
turn and relent
and
leave
a blessing behind
Him—
grain
and drink
offerings
for
the
LORD
your God .
Blow ye
a
trumpet
in Zion, Sanctify
a fast --
proclaim a restraint
.
Blow the
ram’s
horn
in Zion, consecrate
a fast ,
proclaim a sacred
assembly
.
Gather the people, sanctify an
assembly
, Assemble the aged, Gather infants
and
sucklings
of
the breasts
, Go
out
let a
bridegroom from
his inner
chamber
, And a
bride out
of
her closet
.
Gather the people, sanctify the
congregation
, assemble the aged, gather the children
, even
those
nursing
at
the
breast.
Let the
bridegroom leave
his room
, and the
bride her chamber
.
Between the porch
and the altar weep
let
the
priests
, ministrants
of
Jehovah
, And
let
them
say:
`Have
pity
, O Jehovah,
on
Thy
people
, And give
not Thy
inheritance
to
reproach, To
the
ruling
over
them
of nations ,
Why do
they say among peoples, Where `
is '
their God? '
Let
the
priests
who
minister
before
the
LORD
weep
between the portico
and the altar, saying
, “Spare
Your
people
, O LORD
, and do
not make
Your
heritage
a
reproach, an
object
of scorn
among
the
nations .
Why should
they say among the
peoples, ‘
Where is their God? ’”
And
let
Jehovah
be
zealous
for His land, And have
pity
on
His people.
Then
the
LORD
became
jealous
for His land, and He
spared
His people.
Let
Jehovah
answer
and say
to
His people ,
`Lo
, I am
sending
to
you the
corn
, And
the
new wine, and the
oil, And ye
have
been
satisfied with
it,
And
I make you no
more
a reproach among nations ,
And the
LORD
answered
His people :
“Behold
, I will
send
you grain
, new wine, and oil, and by
them
you
will
be
satisfied .
I will
never
again
make you a reproach among the
nations .
And
the northern I put
far
off
from you, And
have
driven
him
unto
a land
dry
and desolate, With
his
face
unto
the eastern sea, And his
rear unto
the western sea ,
And
come
up
hath
his
stink,
And come
up
doth
his
stench ,
For he hath
exerted
himself
to
work
.
The northern army
I will
drive
away
from you, banishing
it
to
a barren
and desolate land
, its
front
ranks
into
the Eastern Sea, and its
rear guard
into
the Western Sea .
And its
stench will
rise;
its
foul
odor
will
ascend.
For He has
done
great
things
.
Do not fear
, O land !
joy
and
rejoice, For Jehovah
hath
exerted
Himself
to
work
.
Do not be
afraid
, O land ;
rejoice and
be
glad
, for the
LORD
has
done
great
things
.
Do not fear
, O cattle
of the field !
For sprung
forth
have
pastures of
a
wilderness
, For
the tree
hath
borne
its
fruit, Fig -
tree and vine have
given
their strength!
Do not be
afraid
, O beasts
of the field ,
for the
open
pastures have
turned
green
, the trees
bear
their
fruit, and
the
fig tree and vine yield
their best.
And
ye
sons
of Zion, joy
and rejoice ,
In Jehovah
your God, For He hath
given to
you the Teacher
for righteousness,
And
causeth
to
come
down
to
you a
shower
, Sprinkling
and gathered
--
in
the
beginning
.
Be
glad,
O
children
of Zion, and rejoice in the
LORD
your God, for He has
given you the autumn
rains
for your
vindication.
He
sends
you showers
, both
autumn
and spring
rains,
as
before
.
And
full
have
been
the floors `with'
pure
corn
, And overflown
have
the presses
`
with '
new wine and oil.
The threshing
floors will
be
full
of
grain
, and the vats
will
overflow
with new wine and oil.
And
I have
recompensed
to
you the years That
consume
did
the locust, the cankerworm
, And
the caterpillar
, and the palmer-worm,
My great force
that I did
send
against you.
I will
repay
you for
the years eaten
by
locusts—
the swarming
locust, the young
locust
, the destroying
locust
, and the devouring
locust
—
My great army
that I sent
against you.
And
ye
have eaten
, eating
and
being
satisfied ,
And
have
praised
the name of Jehovah
your God, Who hath
dealt
with
you wonderfully,
And
not
ashamed
are
My people to the
age
.
You
will
have plenty
to
eat
, until
you
are
satisfied .
You
will
praise
the name of the
LORD
your God, who has
worked
wonders
for
you .
My people will
never
again
be
put
to shame
.
And
ye
have
known
that in the
midst
of
Israel `am'
I,
And I `
am '
Jehovah
your God, and there is none
else,
And
not
ashamed
are
My people to the
age
.
Then
you
will
know
that I
am
present
in Israel and that
I am the
LORD
your God, and there is no
other.
My people will
never
again
be
put
to shame
.
And it
hath
come
to
pass
afterwards
, I do
pour out My Spirit on all flesh,
And
prophesied
have
your sons and your
daughters, Your old men do
dream dreams, Your young men do
see visions.
And afterward
, I will
pour out My Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will
prophesy
, your old men will
dream dreams, your young men will
see visions.
And
also
on the
men-servants,
and on
the
maid-servants
, In
those
days
I do
pour out My Spirit.
Even
on My
menservants
and maidservants
, I will
pour out My Spirit in
those
days
.
And
I have
given
wonders in the heavens ,
and in
the earth, Blood and fire ,
and columns of smoke.
I will
show
wonders in the heavens and on
the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
The sun is
turned to darkness ,
and the moon to blood ,
Before the coming of the day
of
Jehovah,
The
great and the fearful
.
The sun will
be
turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome
Day
of
the LORD
.
And it
hath
come
to
pass,
Every
one
who calleth
in
the name of Jehovah
is
delivered,
For in
mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is
an
escape
, As Jehovah
hath
said
, And
among the remnants
whom
Jehovah
is
calling!
And everyone
who calls
on
the name of the
LORD
will
be
saved;
for on
Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will
be
deliverance
, as the
LORD
has
promised
, among the remnant
called
by
the
LORD.
