Joel 2:2
New King James Version
2 (A)A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
(B)A people come, great and strong,
(C)The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
Joel 2:2
English Standard Version
2 (A)a day of darkness and gloom,
(B)a day of clouds and thick darkness!
Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains
(C)a great and powerful people;
(D)their like has never been before,
nor will be again after them
through the years of all generations.
Joel 2:2
New American Standard Bible
2 A day of (A)darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a (B)great and mighty people;
There has (C)never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
To the years of many generations.
