Joel 2:20
New Catholic Bible
20 I shall drive the northern army far from you
and banish them to an arid and desolate land,
with their vanguard toward the eastern sea,[a]
and their rearguard toward the western sea.
They will give off a stench,
and a foul stench will rise up.
Footnotes
- Joel 2:20 It was from the north that invading armies usually entered Palestine. The eastern sea and the western sea are, respectively, the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean.
Joel 2:20
New International Version
20 “I will drive the northern horde(A) far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(B) will go up;
its smell will rise.”
Surely he has done great things!
