² A day of ^(A)darkness and thick darkness,
A day of clouds and dense gloom.
As the dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a ^(B)numerous and mighty people;
There has ^(C)never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
For the years from generation to generation.

¹⁰ Before them the earth ^(A)trembles;
The heavens quake;
The ^(B)sun and the moon grow dark,
And the stars ^[a]lose their brightness.
