a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
for þe dai of derknessis and of myist is niy, þe dai of cloude and of whirlewynde. As þe morewtid spred abrood on hillis, a myche puple and strong. Noon was lijk it fro þe bigynnyng, and after it schal not be, til in to yeeris of generacioun and of generacioun.
