II. The Day of the Lord
Chapter 2
The Day Approaches
1 [a]Blow the horn in Zion,
sound the alarm on my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming!(A)
Yes, it approaches,
2 a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of thick clouds!
Like dawn[b] spreading over the mountains,
a vast and mighty army!
Nothing like it has ever happened in ages past,
nor will the future hold anything like it,
even to the most distant generations.(B)
Footnotes
- 2:1–11 Joel warns the people about the destruction he sees galloping toward Jerusalem. He combines the imagery of the locust invasion (chap. 1) with language from the holy war tradition in order to describe the Lord leading a heavenly army against the enemy, in this case, Jerusalem.
- 2:2 Like dawn: from the east comes dark destruction rather than a new day’s light.
Joel 2:1-2
New International Version
Joel 2:1-2

An Army of Locusts
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord(D) is coming.
It is close at hand(E)—
2 a day of darkness(F) and gloom,(G)
a day of clouds(H) and blackness.(I)
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army(J) comes,
such as never was in ancient times(K)
nor ever will be in ages to come.

at the head of his army;
How immense is his host!

How great is the day of the Lord!
Utterly terrifying! Who can survive it?(A)

Zephaniah 1:14-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 Near is the great day of the Lord,
near and very swiftly coming.
The sound of the day of the Lord! Piercing—
there a warrior shrieks!
15 A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloom,
a day of thick black clouds,(A)
16 A day of trumpet blasts and battle cries
against fortified cities,
against lofty battlements.(B)
17 I will hem the people in
till they walk like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
And their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their bowels like dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them.
On the day of the Lord’s wrath,
in the fire of his passion,
all the earth will be consumed.
For he will make an end, yes, a sudden end,
of all who live on the earth.(C)
Zephaniah 1:14-18
New International Version
Zephaniah 1:14-18
New International Version
14 The great day of the Lord(A) is near(B)—
near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness(C) and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness(D)—
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry(E)
against the fortified cities
and against the corner towers.(F)
17 “I will bring such distress(G) on all people
that they will grope about like those who are blind,(H)
because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out(I) like dust
and their entrails like dung.(J)
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”(K)
