BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, for it is nigh at handH7138; {trumpet: or, cornet}
A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. {of many…: Heb. of generation and generation}
A fireH784 devourethH398 beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnethH3857: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and nothing shall escapeH6413 them.
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.
Before their faceH6440 the peopleH5971 shall be much painedH2342: all facesH6440 shall gatherH6908 blacknessH6289. {blackness: Heb. pot}
They shall runH7323 like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212 every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670 their ranksH734:
Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?
Therefore also now, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, turnH7725 ye even to me with all your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553:
And rendH7167 your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162 him of the evilH7451.
Who knowethH3045 if he will returnH7725 and repentH5162, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drink offeringH5262 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116:
GatherH622 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, assembleH6908 the eldersH2205, gatherH622 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699: let the bridegroomH2860 go forthH3318 of his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closetH2646.
Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910 them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? {rule over: or, use a byword against}
Then will the LORDH3068 be jealousH7065 for his landH776, and pityH2550 his peopleH5971.
Yea, the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 and sayH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I will sendH7971 you cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith: and I will no more makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the heathenH1471:
But I will remove far offH7368 from you the northernH6830 army, and will driveH5080 him into a landH776 barrenH6723 and desolateH8077, with his faceH6440 toward the eastH6931 seaH3220, and his hinder partH5490 toward the utmostH314 seaH3220, and his stinkH889 shall come upH5927, and his ill savourH6709 shall come upH5927, because he hath doneH6213 great thingsH1431. {hath…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
FearH3372 not, O landH127; be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055: for the LORDH3068 will doH6213 great thingsH1431. {will…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
Be not afraidH3372, ye beastsH929 of the fieldH7704: for the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 do springH1876, for the treeH6086 bearethH5375 her fruitH6529, the fig treeH8384 and the vineH1612 do yieldH5414 their strengthH2428.
Be gladH1523 then, ye childrenH1121 of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he hath givenH5414 you the former rainH4175 moderatelyH6666, and he will cause to come downH3381 for you the rainH1653, the former rainH4175, and the latter rainH4456 in the firstH7223 month. {the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness} {moderately: Heb. according to righteousness}
And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of wheatH1250, and the fatsH3342 shall overflowH7783 with wineH8492 and oilH3323.
And I will restoreH7999 to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerwormH3218, and the caterpillerH2625, and the palmerwormH1501, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you.
And ye shall eatH398 in plentyH398, and be satisfiedH7646, and praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that hath dealtH6213 wondrouslyH6381 with you: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and none else: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.
And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012, your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200 visionsH2384:
And also upon the servantsH5650 and upon the handmaidsH8198 in those daysH3117 will I pour outH8210 my spiritH7307.
And I will shewH5414 wondersH4159 in the heavensH8064 and in the earthH776, bloodH1818, and fireH784, and pillarsH8490 of smokeH6227.
The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015 into darknessH2822, and the moonH3394 into bloodH1818, beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and the terribleH3372 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comeH935.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 shall be deliveredH4422: for in mountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 shall be deliveranceH6413, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559, and in the remnantH8300 whom the LORDH3068 shall callH7121.

But if from thence thou shalt seekH1245 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, thou shalt findH4672 him, if thou seekH1875 him with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315.
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and all the peopleH5971, went upH5927, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and weptH1058, and satH3427 there beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 that dayH3117 until evenH6153, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
When thou art in tribulationH6862, and all these thingsH1697 are comeH4672 upon thee, even in the latterH319 daysH3117, if thou turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt be obedientH8085 unto his voiceH6963; {are…: Heb. have found thee}
And they gathered togetherH6908 to MizpehH4709, and drewH7579 waterH4325, and poured it outH8210 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 on that dayH3117, and saidH559 there, We have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in MizpehH4708.
And SamuelH8050 spakeH559 unto all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If ye do returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 with all your heartsH3824, then put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 and AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and prepareH3559 your heartsH3824 unto the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him only: and he will deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
Yet if they shall bethinkH7725 themselves in the landH776 whither they were carried captivesH7617, and repentH7725+H3820, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captivesH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perverselyH5753, we have committed wickednessH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
And so returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824, and with all their soulH5315, in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, which led them away captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
Then hearH8085 thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, {cause: or, right}
And JudahH3063 gathered themselves togetherH6908, to askH1245 help of the LORDH3068: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
If they returnH7725 to thee with all their heartH3820 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, whither they have carried them captivesH7617, and prayH6419 towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, and toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
Now in the twentyH6242 and fourthH702 dayH3117 of this monthH2320 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were assembledH622 with fastingH6685, and with sackclothesH8242, and earthH127 upon them.
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 which have sinnedH2398 against thee. {cause: or, right}
And the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 separatedH914 themselves from all strangersH1121+H5236, and stoodH5975 and confessedH3034 their sinsH2403, and the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1. {strangers: Heb. strange children}
IfH2005 I shut upH6113 heavenH8064 that there be no rainH4306, or if I commandH6680 the locustsH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or if I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971;
And in that dayH3117 did the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 callH7121 to weepingH1065, and to mourningH4553, and to baldnessH7144, and to girdingH2296 with sackclothH8242:
If my peopleH5971, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselves, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
So the peopleH582 of NinevehH5210 believedH539 GodH430, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and putH3847 on sackclothH8242, from the greatestH1419 of them even to the leastH6996 of them.
For wordH1697 cameH5060 unto the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, and he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, and he laidH5674 his robeH155 from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackclothH8242, and satH3427 in ashesH665.
And he caused it to be proclaimedH2199 and publishedH559 through NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his noblesH1419, sayingH559, Let neither manH120 nor beastH929, herdH1241 nor flockH6629, tasteH2938 any thingH3972: let them not feedH7462, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: {published: Heb. said} {nobles: Heb. great men}
But let manH120 and beastH929 be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, and cryH7121 mightilyH2394 unto GodH430: yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the violenceH2555 that is in their handsH3709.
And to speakH559 unto the priestsH3548 which were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, Should I weepH1058 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, separatingH5144 myself, as I have doneH6213 these so many yearsH8141?
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
SpeakH559 unto all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventhH7637 month, even those seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH6684 fastH6684 unto me, even to me?
If thou wilt returnH7725, O IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, returnH7725 unto me: and if thou wilt put awayH5493 thine abominationsH8251 out of my sightH6440, then shalt thou not removeH5110.
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
In that dayH3117 shall there be a greatH1431 mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, as the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddonH4023.
And the landH776 shall mournH5594, everyH4940 familyH4940 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of NathanH5416 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {every…: Heb. families, families}
The familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of ShimeiH8097 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {of Shimei: or, of Simeon, as LXX}
All the familiesH4940 that remainH7604, every familyH4940 apart, and their wivesH802 apart.
Then shall ye callH7121 upon me, and ye shall goH1980 and prayH6419 unto me, and I will hearkenH8085 unto you.
Draw nighG1448 to GodG2316, andG2532 he will draw nighG1448 to youG5213. CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, ye sinnersG268; andG2532 purifyG48 your heartsG2588, ye double mindedG1374.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
Be afflictedG5003, andG2532 mournG3996, andG2532 weepG2799: let yourG5216 laughterG1071 be turnedG3344 toG1519 mourningG3997, andG2532 your joyG5479 toG1519 heavinessG2726.
ComeH3212, and let us returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068: for he hath tornH2963, and he will healH7495 us; he hath smittenH5221, and he will bind us upH2280.
Therefore turnH7725 thou to thy GodH430: keepH8104 mercyH2617 and judgmentH4941, and waitH6960 on thy GodH430 continuallyH8548.
O IsraelH3478, returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; for thou hast fallenH3782 by thine iniquityH5771.
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341.
