10Before them the earth atrembles;

The heavens quake;

The bsun and the moon grow dark,

And the stars 1lose their brightness.

11But Yahweh agives forth His voice before bHis military force;

Surely His camp is very numerous,

For cmighty is he who does His word.

The dday of Yahweh is indeed great and very awesome,

And ewho can endure it?

The earth quakes before them;

the heavens tremble.

The sun and the moon are darkened,

and the stars withdraw their shining.

The Lord utters his voice

before his army,

for his camp is exceedingly great;

he who executes his word is powerful.

For the day of the Lord is great and very awesome;

who can endure it?

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Before them the earth shakes,

the heavens tremble,

the sun and moon are darkened,

and the stars no longer shine.

at the head of his army;

his forces are beyond number,

and mighty is the army that obeys his command.

The day of the Lord is great;

it is dreadful.

Who can endure it?

the sky shakes.

The sun and moon grow dark,

and the stars cease their shining.

in the presence of his army.

His camp is very large;

those who carry out his command are powerful.

Indeed, the day of the Lord is terrible and dreadful—

who can endure it?

NLTNew Living Translation

The earth quakes as they advance,

and the heavens tremble.

The sun and moon grow dark,

and the stars no longer shine.

He leads them with a shout.

This is his mighty army,

and they follow his orders.

The day of the Lord is an awesome, terrible thing.

Who can possibly survive?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Before them the earth quakes;

the heavens tremble;

the sun and the moon grow dark,

and the stars have withheld their splendor

And Yahweh utters his voice before his army,

because his encampment is very large;

strong is the one who carries out his decree,

for great is the day of Yahweh

and exceedingly fearful.

Who can endure it?

KJV 1900King James Version

The earth shall quake before them;

The heavens shall tremble:

The sun and the moon shall be dark,

And the stars shall withdraw their shining:

And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army:

For his camp is very great:

For he is strong that executeth his word:

For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible;

And who can abide it?
