An Army of Locusts

Blow the trumpet(A) in Zion;(B)
    sound the alarm on my holy hill.(C)

Let all who live in the land tremble,
    for the day of the Lord(D) is coming.
It is close at hand(E)
    a day of darkness(F) and gloom,(G)
    a day of clouds(H) and blackness.(I)
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
    a large and mighty army(J) comes,
such as never was in ancient times(K)
    nor ever will be in ages to come.

31 The sun will be turned to darkness(A)
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.(B)
32 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord(C) will be saved;(D)
for on Mount Zion(E) and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,(F)
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors(G)
    whom the Lord calls.[a](H)
