Joel 2:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ As they march forward, the earth shakes.
    The heavens tremble as they approach.
The sun and moon grow dark.
    And the stars stop shining.
¹¹ The Lord thunders with his mighty voice
    as he leads his army.
He has so many forces they can’t even be counted.
    The army that obeys his commands is mighty.
The day of the Lord is great and terrifying.
    Who can live through it?

“Return to me with all your heart.
    There is still time.
Do not eat any food.
    Weep and mourn.”
