'Lord' in the Bible

The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel:

The grain offering and the drink offering are cut offFrom the house of the Lord.The priests mourn,The ministers of the Lord.

Consecrate a fast,Proclaim a solemn assembly;Gather the eldersAnd all the inhabitants of the landTo the house of the Lord your God,And cry out to the Lord.

Alas for the day!For the day of the Lord is near,And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

To You, O Lord, I cry;For fire has devoured the pastures of the wildernessAnd the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.

Blow a trumpet in Zion,And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,For the day of the Lord is coming;Surely it is near,

The Lord utters His voice before His army;Surely His camp is very great,For strong is he who carries out His word.The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome,And who can endure it?

“Yet even now,” declares the Lord,“Return to Me with all your heart,And with fasting, weeping and mourning;

And rend your heart and not your garments.”Now return to the Lord your God,For He is gracious and compassionate,Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindnessAnd relenting of evil.

Who knows whether He will not turn and relentAnd leave a blessing behind Him,Even a grain offering and a drink offeringFor the Lord your God?

Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers,Weep between the porch and the altar,And let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord,And do not make Your inheritance a reproach,A byword among the nations.Why should they among the peoples say,‘Where is their God?’”

Then the Lord will be zealous for His landAnd will have pity on His people.

The Lord will answer and say to His people,“Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil,And you will be satisfied in full with them;And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.

Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,For the Lord has done great things.

So rejoice, O sons of Zion,And be glad in the Lord your God;For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.And He has poured down for you the rain,The early and latter rain as before.

“You will have plenty to eat and be satisfiedAnd praise the name of the Lord your God,Who has dealt wondrously with you;Then My people will never be put to shame.

“Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,And that I am the Lord your God,And there is no other;And My people will never be put to shame.

“The sun will be turned into darknessAnd the moon into bloodBefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

“And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LordWill be delivered;For on Mount Zion and in JerusalemThere will be those who escape,As the Lord has said,Even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

Also I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation,” for the Lord has spoken.

Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,And gather yourselves there.Bring down, O Lord, Your mighty ones.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

The Lord roars from ZionAnd utters His voice from Jerusalem,And the heavens and the earth tremble.But the Lord is a refuge for His peopleAnd a stronghold to the sons of Israel.

Then you will know that I am the Lord your God,Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain.So Jerusalem will be holy,And strangers will pass through it no more.

And in that dayThe mountains will drip with sweet wine,And the hills will flow with milk,And all the brooks of Judah will flow with water;And a spring will go out from the house of the LordTo water the valley of Shittim.

And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged,For the Lord dwells in Zion.
