New King James Version
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And(A) it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
(B)That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and (C)your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
(D)And they shall prophesy.
19 (E)I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 (F)The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That (G)whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’

Before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

I will in those days pour out My Spirit
And they shall prophesy.
