*
The great day of the LORD is near ,
near and hastening fast ;
the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter ,
the mighty man cries aloud there .
*
A day of wrath is that day ,
a day of distress and anguish ,
a day of ruin and devastation ,
a day of darkness and gloom ,
a day of clouds and thick darkness ,
*
a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements .
*
I will bring distress on men ,
so that they shall walk like the blind ,
because they have sinned against the LORD ;
their blood shall be poured out like dust ,
and their flesh like dung .
*
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD .
In the fire of his jealous wrath ,
all the earth shall be consumed ;
for a full ,
yea ,
sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth .
