28 “It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
    and your sons and your daughters will prophesy.
    Your old men will dream dreams.
    Your young men will see visions.
29 And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days,
    I will pour out my Spirit.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
    blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned into darkness,
    and the moon into blood,
    before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
32 It will happen that whoever will call on Yahweh’s name shall be saved;
    for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape,
    as Yahweh has said,
    and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls.

The Promise of the Spirit

28 [a](A)It will come about after this
That I will (B)pour out My Spirit on all [b](C)mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will have dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
29 And even on the (D)male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the Lord

30 I will [c](E)display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The (F)sun will be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the (G)great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
32 And it will come about that (H)everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
Will [d]be saved;
For (I)on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who (J)escape,
Just as the Lord has said,
Even among the (K)survivors whom the Lord calls.
