Joel 2:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ The earth in front of them moves.
The sky itself moves.
The sun and moon are dark
and the stars do not give any light.
¹¹ The Lord shouts aloud
as he leads his army.
We cannot count his soldiers.
Those who obey him are very strong.
The day of the Lord is powerful.
It makes us afraid.
Not many of us will be alive after it has gone.^[a]

¹² ‘Even now,’ the Lord says,
‘return to me and put me first.
Eat no food. Cry and be very sad.
