Joel 2:2

The Day of the Lord

2 d A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
e A people come, great and strong,
f The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
