1Blow the ram’s horn in Zion;
2a day of darkness and gloom,
3Before them a fire devours,
4Their appearance is like that of horses,
5With a sound like that of chariots
6Nations writhe in horror before them;
7They charge like mighty men;
8They do not jostle one another;
9They storm the city;
10Before them the earth quakes;
11The LORD raises His voice
12“Yet even now,”
13So rend your hearts and not your garments,
14Who knows? He may turn and relent
15Blow the ram’s horn in Zion,
16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,
17Let the priests who minister before the LORD
18Then the LORD became jealous for His land,
19And the LORD answered His people:
20The northern army I will drive away from you,
21Do not be afraid, O land;
22Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field,
23Be glad, O children of Zion,
24The threshing floors will be full of grain,
25I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts—
26You will have plenty to eat,
27Then you will know that I am present in Israel
28And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people.
29Even on My menservants and maidservants,
30I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth,
31The sun will be turned to darkness
32And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD
