• Joel 2:2
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  2 It is a day of darkness and gloom,+

      A day of clouds and thick gloom,+

      Like light of dawn spreading out on the mountains.

      There is a people numerous and mighty;+

      Never before has there been one like it,

      And never again will there be another

      Through the years of all generations.

  • Joel 2:2
    The Bible in Living English

  • Joel 2:2
    American Standard Version

  • Joel 2:2
    The Emphasized Bible

  • Joel 2:2
    King James Version
