1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
2A day of darkness and of gloominess,
3A fire devoureth before them;
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses;
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap,
6Before their face the people shall be much pained:
7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war;
8Neither shall one thrust another;
9They shall run to and fro in the city;
10The earth shall quake before them;
11And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army:
12Therefore also now, saith the Lord,
13And rent your heart, and not your garments,
14Who knoweth if he will return and repent,
15Blow the trumpet in Zion,
16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders,
17Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar,
18Then will the Lord be jealous for his land,
19Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people,
20But I will remove far off from you the northern army,
21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice:
22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field:
23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God:
24And the floors shall be full of wheat,
25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,
26And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied,
27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
28And it shall come to pass afterward,
29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids
30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered:
