Daily Bible GNT June 2 Verses

The Day of the LORD

²⁸"Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on everyone:

your sons and daughters will proclaim my message;

your old people will have dreams,

and your young people will see visions.

²⁹At that time I will pour out my Spirit

even on servants, both men and women.

³⁰"I will give warnings of that day

in the sky and on the earth;

there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.

³¹The sun will be darkened,

and the moon will turn red as blood

before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.

³²But all who ask the LORD for help will be saved.

As the LORD has said,

'Some in Jerusalem will escape;

those whom I choose will survive.'"

God Will Judge the Nations

Joel 3 The LORD says,

"At that time I will restore

the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem.

²I will gather all the nations

and bring them to the Valley of Judgment.

There I will judge them

for all they have done to my people.

They have scattered the Israelites in foreign countries

and divided Israel, my land.

³They threw dice to decide

who would get the captives.

They sold boys and girls into slavery

to pay for prostitutes and wine.

⁴"What are you trying to do to me, Tyre, Sidon, and all of Philistia? Are you trying to pay me back for something? If you are, I will quickly pay you back! ⁵You have taken my silver and gold and carried my rich treasures into your temples. ⁶You have taken the people of Judah and Jerusalem far from their own country and sold them to the Greeks. ⁷Now I am going to bring them out of the places to which you have sold them. I will do to you what you have done to them. ⁸I will let your sons and daughters be sold to the people of Judah; they will sell them to the far-off Sabeans. I, the LORD, have spoken.
