14 The great day of the LORD [is] near; [it is] near and rushing greatly, the voice of the day of the LORD. The mighty man shall cry bitterly there.
15 That day [is] a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of waste and ruin, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 a day of the ram's horn and alarm against the fortified cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring distress on men, so that they shall walk with the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.
18 Their silver nor their gold will not 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 full, yea, a speedy end of all the dwellers in the land.
