I was going to make a small change - considering how to untangle a few locks of the 12, and I couldn't read the way I had done it those months back. I am trying to untangle the distinction between שׁאר and עתר. They are hopelessly intertwined in the old translations - left over, remnant, residue indiscriminately used for each. Maybe there's no distinction of meaning - but maybe not... (I don't always succeed in seeing the problems on the first pass.)

Let all inhabitants of the land shudder, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is near. | 3e | 4B | 24 7 | |
| י֧וֹם חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וַאֲפֵלָ֗ה י֤וֹם עָנָן֙ וַעֲרָפֶ֔ל כְּשַׁ֖חַר פָּרֻ֣שׂ עַל־הֶֽהָרִ֑ים עַ֚ם רַ֣ב וְעָצ֔וּם כָּמֹ֗הוּ לֹ֤א נִֽהְיָה֙ מִן־הָ֣עוֹלָ֔ם וְאַֽחֲרָיו֙ לֹ֣א יוֹסֵ֔ף עַד־שְׁנֵ֖י דּ֥וֹר וָדֽוֹר | 2 | c | A day of darkness and gloom, a day of cloud and dark turbulence. As dawn spreads over the hills, a people abundant and numerous, such as has never been and after it will not be again for years, generation upon generation. | 3c | 4C | 23 28 |
| לְפָנָיו֙ אָ֣כְלָה אֵ֔שׁ וְאַחֲרָ֖יו תְּלַהֵ֣ט לֶֽהָבָ֑ה כְּגַן־עֵ֨דֶן הָאָ֜רֶץ לְפָנָ֗יו וְאַֽחֲרָיו֙ מִדְבַּ֣ר שְׁמָמָ֔ה וְגַם־פְּלֵיטָ֖ה לֹא־הָ֥יְתָה לּֽוֹ | 3 | Fire devours in its presence and after it blazing flame. As the garden of Eden is the land before it, and after it, a desolate wilderness. And even security, it will not be for it. | 3e | 4B | 16 28 | |
| כְּמַרְאֵ֥ה סוּסִ֖ים מַרְאֵ֑הוּ וּכְפָרָשִׁ֖ים כֵּ֥ן יְרוּצֽוּן | 4 | As the appearance of horses is its appearance, and as cavalry, so they race. | 3e | 4A | 8 8 | |

As the crackling of a flame of fire devouring stubble, as a numerous people arranged for battle. | 3e | 4C | 23 9 |
| מִפָּנָ֖יו יָחִ֣ילוּ עַמִּ֑ים כָּל־פָּנִ֖ים קִבְּצ֥וּ פָארֽוּר | 6 | Before its face peoples writhe, All faces collect pallor. | 3e | 4B | 8 7 | |
| כְּגִבּוֹרִ֣ים יְרֻצ֔וּן כְּאַנְשֵׁ֥י מִלְחָמָ֖ה יַעֲל֣וּ חוֹמָ֑ה וְאִ֤ישׁ בִּדְרָכָיו֙ יֵֽלֵכ֔וּן וְלֹ֥א יְעַבְּט֖וּן אֹרְחוֹתָֽם | 7 | As the valiant they race, as warriors they climb a wall, is and each on its way walks and none is deflected from its path. | 3e | 4C | 18 16 | |

| לְפָנָיו֙ רָ֣גְזָה אֶ֔רֶץ רָעֲשׁ֖וּ שָׁמָ֑יִם שֶׁ֤מֶשׁ וְיָרֵ֙חַ֙ קָדָ֔רוּ וְכוֹכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽם | 10 | In its presence earth shuddered, heavens quaked, sun and moon were in mourning and stars gather in their illumination. | 3e | 4C | 13 17 | |
| וַֽיהוָ֗ה נָתַ֤ן קוֹלוֹ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י חֵיל֔וֹ כִּ֣י רַ֤ב מְאֹד֙ מַחֲנֵ֔הוּ כִּ֥י עָצ֖וּם עֹשֵׂ֣ה דְבָר֑וֹ כִּֽי־גָד֧וֹל יוֹם־יְהוָ֛ה וְנוֹרָ֥א מְאֹ֖ד וּמִ֥י יְכִילֶֽנּוּ | 11 | But Yahweh gives his voice before his force for his army is very abundant, for numerous is the one doing his word, for great is the day of Yahweh and very fearful so who will abide it. | 3c | 4C | 26 16 | |
| וְגַם־עַתָּה֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה שֻׁ֥בוּ עָדַ֖י בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֑ם וּבְצ֥וֹם וּבְבְכִ֖י וּבְמִסְפֵּֽד | 12 | And even now, an oracle of Yahweh, Turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with wailing. | 3e | 4A | 17 8 | |

Collect the elders. Gather babies and those who suckle at the breasts. Let bridegroom emerge from his room and daughter-in-law from her canopy. | 3e | 4C | 23 14 | |
| בֵּ֤ין הָאוּלָם֙ וְלַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ יִבְכּוּ֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים מְשָׁרְתֵ֖י יְהוָ֑ה וְֽיֹאמְר֞וּ ח֧וּסָה יְהוָ֣ה עַל־עַמֶּ֗ךָ וְאַל־תִּתֵּ֨ן נַחֲלָתְךָ֤ לְחֶרְפָּה֙ לִמְשָׁל־בָּ֣ם גּוֹיִ֔ם לָ֚מָּה יֹאמְר֣וּ בָֽעַמִּ֔ים אַיֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם | 17 | C | Between the porch and the altar, let the priests weep, the ministers of Yahweh, and let them say, Spare your people, Yahweh and do not give your legacy to reproach, that nations should govern in them. They will say among the peoples, Where is their God? | 3c | 4C | 20 40 |
