Read Joel in the King James Version, with a plain-language reading beneath every verse. Here are a few to start with.
From Joel
The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
The divine message from the LORD, received by Joel, Pethuel's son, filled with awe and reverence.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
They'll surge forward like thundering chariots over hills, fierce as a wildfire consuming dry grass, as formidable as an army ready for war.
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
In those days, I will fill both the servants and handmaidens with my divine spirit.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Countless souls stand at the crossroads of choice, for God's day of reckoning draws near in this place of decision.
