2:2 It will be ¹  a day of dreadful darkness, ² 

a day of foreboding storm clouds, ³ 

like blackness ⁴  spread over the mountains.

It is a huge and powerful army ⁵  –

there has never been anything like it ever before,

and there will not be anything like it for many generations to come! ⁶ 

2:31 The sunlight will be turned to darkness

and the moon to the color of blood, ⁷ 

before the day of the Lord comes –

that great and terrible day!
