I will raise weeping and a lament over the mountains, a dirge over the wilderness grazing land, for they have been so scorched that no one passes through. The sound of cattle is no longer heard. From the birds of the sky to the animals, [everything] has fled-- they have gone away.

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

The earth is completely devastated; the earth is split open; the earth is violently shaken.

On that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and kings of the earth below.

The moon will be put to shame and the sun disgraced, because the LORD of Hosts will reign as king on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and He will [display His] glory in the presence of His elders.

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

On that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. When one looks at the land, there will be darkness and distress; light will be obscured by clouds.

Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will not shine.

When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

I will darken all the shining lights in the heavens over you, and will bring darkness on your land. [This is] the declaration of the Lord God.

The earth quakes before them; the sky shakes. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars cease their shining.

I will display wonders in the heavens and on the earth: blood, fire, and columns of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and awe-inspiring Day of the LORD comes.

The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will cease their shining.

The LORD will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will shake. But the LORD will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the Israelites.

And in that day-- [this is] the declaration of the Lord God-- I will make the sun go down at noon; I will darken the land in the daytime.

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days: The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the celestial powers will be shaken.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

"But in those days, after that tribulation: The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light;

the stars will be falling from the sky, and the celestial powers will be shaken.

"Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves.

People will faint from fear and expectation of the things that are coming on the world, because the celestial powers will be shaken.

I will display wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes;
