Joel 2:9-11

Revised Standard Version

⁹They leap upon the city,
they run upon the walls;
they climb up into the houses,
they enter through the windows like a thief.

¹⁰The earth quakes before them,
    the heavens tremble.
The sun and the moon are darkened,
    and the stars withdraw their shining.
¹¹The Lord utters his voice
    before his army,
for his host is exceedingly great;
    he that executes his word is powerful.
For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
    who can endure it?
