Joel 2

Gen Z: Joel 2

1Blast the horn in Zion, and sound the alarm on my holy mountain: everyone better shake, ‘cause the day of the Lord is coming in hot; no cap.

2It’s a day full of dark vibes and gloom, clouds thick like a fog, and a massive crew that’s never been seen before, fr.

3Fire’s munching everything in front of them; behind, it’s all flames: the land's lit like Eden, but behind them? Just a barren wasteland, nothing gets away, periodt.

4They look like horses ready to go; and like riders, they’re about to pop off.

5They leap like chariots on mountain tops, making noise like a fire that’s devouring everything; a strong squad ready for battle, no cap.

6The people are feeling the pain; all faces turning dark, sus vibes.

7They’re running like beasts; climbing walls like warriors; each one on their grind, and they won’t mess up their flow.

8No one’s gonna bump into each other; they’re walking their own path: when they hit the sword, they won’t even flinch.

9They’re running around the city; scaling walls, climbing houses; slipping in through windows like total thieves.

10The earth’s gonna shake for them; the heavens are gonna vibe check: the sun and moon are going dark, and the stars will stop shining, fr.

11The Lord’s voice is like, “Listen up, my squad is massive and I’m the real deal when I say stuff. The day of the Lord is wild, who can even handle that vibe?”

12So now, the Lord’s like, “Turn to me with all your heart, fast, cry it out, and mourn a bit, fr.”

13Tear your heart, not your clothes, and hit up the Lord your God, ‘cause He’s mad chill, super nice, takes his time getting angry, and is all about kindness, no cap.

14Who knows if He’ll come back and change His mind, leaving behind some blessings, like food and drinks for the Lord your God?

15Blast that trumpet in Zion, set the vibe for a fast, and call everyone together for a serious hangout.

16Gather the crew, hype up the congregation, get the elders in, bring the kids, and even the babies; let the bridegroom step outta his room and the bride outta her spot.

17Let the priests, the Lord's hype squad, cry out between the porch and the altar, saying, “Chill, Lord, don’t let your people get roasted; the outsiders shouldn’t be flexing on them. Why should they ask, ‘Where’s their God?’”

18Then the Lord’s gonna be protective over His land and feel for His people.

19For real, the Lord will reply to His people, “I got you with corn, wine, and oil, you’ll be straight up satisfied, and I won’t let you be dissed by the outsiders anymore.”

20But I’ll push the northern army far away from you, sending them to a barren wasteland, facing the east sea, with their back to the other sea, and their stench will rise up, ‘cause they’ve done some major things.

21No cap, land, chill out and vibe; the Lord's about to do some epic stuff.

22Don’t be sus, animals of the field; the wild is popping off with growth, fruit’s coming in hot, like fig trees and vines flexing their strength.

23Get hyped, kids of Zion, and rejoice in your God; He’s already blessed you with rain, and more is on the way, fr.

24The fields are gonna be stacked with wheat, and the vibes will overflow with wine and oil, it’s lit.

25I’m bringing back all the good times the locusts snatched, my squad that I sent is about to restore everything.

26You’ll be feasting and feeling blessed, praising the Lord for the wild things He’s done; my crew won’t ever be embarrassed.

27You’ll know I’m right here with Israel, the Lord your God, and nobody else; my people will always be on top.

28Later on, I’m gonna drop my spirit on everyone; your sons and daughters will prophesy, old heads will dream, and young guns will see visions.

29And I’ll also pour out my spirit on the squad and the ladies during those days.

30I’ll show off some crazy wonders in the sky and on Earth, blood, fire, and smoke vibes, it’s gonna be wild.

31The sun's gonna go dark, and the moon's gonna look like blood, right before that epic day of the Lord hits.

32And for real, anyone who calls on the Lord's name is gonna be saved: Zion and Jerusalem are the spots for that, just like the Lord said, and He’s got a crew He’s calling.

KJV: Joel 2

1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11And 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?

12Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13And 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.

14Who 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?

15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

17Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

18Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

19Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

20But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.

22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

24And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

26And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.

32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
