Joel 2:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ Before them, earth and sky shake.
    The sun and the moon become dark, and the stars stop shining.
¹¹ The Lord calls loudly to his army.
    His camp is very large.
The army obeys his commands.
    His army is very powerful.
The Lord’s special day is a great and terrible day.
    No one can stop it.

¹² This is the Lord’s message:
    “Now come back to me with all your heart.
Cry and mourn, and don’t eat anything!
    Show that you are sad for doing wrong.
