The Day of the Lord
1 qBlow a trumpet in Zion;
sound an alarm on rmy holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming; sit is near,
13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is hgracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and ihe relents over disaster.
26 “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
and praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has dealt wondrously with you.
And my people shall never again be put to shame.
27 You shall know that I am fin the midst of Israel,
and gthat I am the Lord your God and there is none else.
And my people shall never again be put to shame.
The Lord Will Pour Out His Spirit
28 1 h“And it shall come to pass afterward,
that iI will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
jyour sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
29 Even on the male and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 kThe sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the lgreat and awesome day of the Lord comes. 32 And it shall come to pass that meveryone who ncalls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For oin Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be pthose whom the Lord calls.
