Joel 2:11

11 The LORD 1utters His voice before 2His army; Surely His camp is very great, For 3strong is he who carries out His word. The 4day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And 5who can endure it?

Joel 2:11 In-Context

9 They rush on the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter through the windows like a thief.
10 Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness.
11 The LORD utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?
12 "Yet even now," declares the LORD , "Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning;
13 And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil.
