“The earth quakes
Before them.
The heavens tremble.
The sun is darkened.
The moon is darkened.
The stars
Withdraw their shining.
Yahweh utters
His voice
Before his army.
How vast is his host!
Numberless are
Those who obey
His command.
Truly,
The day of Yahweh
Is great.
It is so terrible!
Who can endure it?”
Thus, there is a fusion of the swarm of locusts with the day of Yahweh. The earth would quake. The heavens would tremble. The sun and the moon would become dark. The stars would not shine. Yahweh would utter his strong voice before this vast numberless army. They all would obey his command. The day of Yahweh would be a terrible, but great day. Who would be able to endure this?
