*
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD :
for the day of the LORD is at hand :
for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice ,
he hath bid his guests .
*
And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD '
S sacrifice ,
that I will punish the princes ,
and the king '
s children ,
and all such as are clothed with strange apparel .
*
In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold ,
which fill their masters '
houses with violence and deceit .
*
And it shall come to pass in that day ,
saith the LORD ,
that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate ,
and an howling from the second ,
and a great crashing from the hills .
*
Howl ,
ye inhabitants of Maktesh ,
for all the merchant people are cut down ;
all they that bear silver are cut off .
*
And it shall come to pass at that time ,
that I will search Jerusalem with candles ,
and punish the men that are settled on their lees :
that say in their heart ,
The LORD will not do good ,
neither will he do evil .
*
Therefore their goods shall become a booty ,
and their houses a desolation :
they shall also build houses ,
but not inhabit them ;
and they shall plant vineyards ,
but not drink the wine thereof .
*
The great day of the LORD is near ,
it is near ,
and hasteth greatly ,
even the voice of the day of the LORD :
the mighty man shall cry there bitterly .
*
That day is a day of wrath ,
a day of trouble and distress ,
a day of wasteness and desolation ,
a day of darkness and gloominess ,
a day of clouds and thick darkness ,
*
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities ,
and against the high towers .
*
And I will bring distress upon men ,
that they shall walk like blind men ,
because they have sinned against the LORD :
and their blood shall be poured out as dust ,
and their flesh as the dung .
*
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD '
S wrath ;
but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy :
for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land .
