Joel 2:1-2
Christian Standard Bible
2 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion;(A)
sound the alarm on my holy mountain!
Let all the residents of the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming;(B)
in fact, it is near—
2 a day of darkness and gloom,(C)
a day of clouds and total darkness,(D)
like the dawn spreading over the mountains;
a great and strong people(E) appears,
such as never existed in ages past(F)
and never will again
in all the generations to come.(G)
Amos 5:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord!(A)
What will the day of the Lord be for you?
It will be darkness and not light.(B)
19 It will be like a man who flees from a lion(C)
only to have a bear confront him.
He goes home and rests his hand against the wall
only to have a snake bite him.
20 Won’t the day of the Lord
be darkness rather than light,(D)
even gloom without any brightness in it?(E)
Zephaniah 1:14-15
Christian Standard Bible
14 The great day of the Lord is near,(A)
near and rapidly approaching.
Listen, the day of the Lord—
then the warrior’s cry is bitter.
15 That day is a day of wrath,
a day of trouble and distress,
a day of destruction and desolation,
a day of darkness(B) and gloom,
a day of clouds and total darkness,(C)
