15. 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,
16. a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified citiesand against the lofty battlements.
17. I will bring distress on mankind,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.
18. Neither their silver nor their goldshall be able to deliver themon the day of the wrath of the Lord. In the fire of his jealousy, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full and sudden endhe will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
