The great day of the Lord is near— near and coming quickly.
Listen! The cry on the day of the Lord will be bitter,
the shouting of the warrior there.
That day will be a day of wrath,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness,
a day of trumpet and battle cry
against the fortified cities and against the corner towers.
I will bring distress on the people and they will walk
like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord…
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.
In the fire of his jealousy the whole earth will be consumed,
for he will make a sudden end of all who live on the earth.
Zephaniah 1:14-18
