1. Blow a trumpet in Zion;sound an alarm on my holy mountain!Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,
2. a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness!Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been before,nor will be again after themthrough the years of all generations.
3. Fire devours before them,and behind them a flame burns.The land is like the garden of Eden before them,but behind them a desolate wilderness,and nothing escapes them.
4. Their appearance is like the appearance of horses,and like war horses they run.
