God’s Promise of His Spirit

28 [a] After this(A)
I will pour out My Spirit(B) on all humanity;(C)
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your old men will have dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29 I will even pour out My Spirit
on the male and female slaves in those days.(D)
30 I will display wonders
in the heavens and on the earth:(E)
blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(F)
before the great and awe-inspiring Day of the Lord comes.(G)
32 Then everyone who calls
on the name of Yahweh will be saved,(H)
for there will be an escape
for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
as the Lord promised,(I)
among the survivors the Lord calls.

Yahweh’s Spirit Poured Out

28 [a] And it will happen afterward thus:
    I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
    and your elders will dream dreams;
your young men shall see visions.
29 And also on the male slaves and on the female slaves,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

30 And I will set[b] wonders in the heavens, and on earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun will be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. 32 And it will happen—everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be rescued, because on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape,[c] as Yahweh said, and among the survivors whom Yahweh is calling.
