Joel 2:28-32
1599 Geneva Bible
28 And afterward will I pour [a]out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream [b]dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
29 And also upon the servants, and upon the maids in those days will I pour my Spirit.
30 And I will show [c]wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The [d]sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 But whosoever shall call [e]on the Name of the Lord, shall be saved: for in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance as the Lord hath said, and in the [f]remnant, whom the Lord shall call.
