Joel 2:11-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
11
The
Lord
utters His voice before His army;
His camp is indeed very great,
For mighty is one who carries out His word.
The day of the
Lord
is indeed great and very awesome,
And who can endure it?
12
'Yet even now,' declares the
Lord
,
'Return to Me with all your heart,
And with fasting, weeping, and mourning;
13
And tear your heart and not
merely
your garments.'
Now return to the
Lord
your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in mercy
And relenting of catastrophe.
14
Who knows, He might turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him,
Resulting in
a grain offering and a drink offering
For the
Lord
your God.
King James Version
Chapter 2
11
And the
Lord
shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the
Lord
is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12
Therefore also now, saith the
Lord
, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the
Lord
your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the
Lord
your God?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
11
The
Lord
makes his voice heard
in the presence of his army.
His camp is very large;
those who carry out his command are powerful.
Indeed, the day of the
Lord
is terrible and dreadful —
who can endure it?
12
Even now— this is the
Lord
’s declaration— turn to me with all your heart,
with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13
Tear your hearts,
not just your clothes,
and return to the
Lord
your God.
For he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger, abounding in faithful love,
and he relents from sending disaster.
14
Who knows? He may turn and relent
and leave a blessing behind him,
so you can offer grain and wine
to the
Lord
your God.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
11
The
Lord
is at the head of the column.
He leads them with a shout.
This is his mighty army,
and they follow his orders.
The day of the
Lord
is an awesome, terrible thing.
Who can possibly survive?
12
That is why the
Lord
says,
'Turn to me now, while there is time.
Give me your hearts.
Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13
Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.'
Return to the
Lord
your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.
14
Who knows? Perhaps he will give you a reprieve,
sending you a blessing instead of this curse.
Perhaps you will be able to offer grain and wine
to the
Lord
your God as before.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
11
The
Lord
utters his voice
before his army,
for his camp is exceedingly great;
he who executes his word is powerful.
For the day of the
Lord
is great and very awesome;
who can endure it?
12
"Yet even now," declares the
Lord
,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13
and rend your hearts and not your garments."
Return to the
Lord
your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.
14
Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and leave a blessing behind him,
a grain offering and a drink offering
for the
Lord
your God?
New International Version
Chapter 2
11
The
Lord
thunders
at the head of his army;
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty is the army that obeys his command.
The day of the
Lord
is great;
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?
12
"Even now," declares the
Lord
,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning."
13
Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the
Lord
your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
14
Who knows? He may turn and relent
and leave behind a blessing—
grain offerings and drink offerings
for the
Lord
your God.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
11
The
Lord
gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong
is the One
who executes His word.
For the day of the
Lord
is
great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?
12
“Now, therefore,” says the
Lord
,
“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13
So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the
Lord
your God,
For He
is
gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
14
Who knows
if
He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him—
A grain offering and a drink offering
For the
Lord
your God?
