I will put out all the lights of heaven and plunge your world into darkness. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken.

The earth shakes as they advance; the sky trembles. The sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars no longer shine.

The sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars no longer shine.

The time is coming when I will make the sun go down at noon and the earth grow dark in daytime. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken.
