16. a day of rams’ horns and battle criesagainst the fortified citiesand against the high corner towers.
17. “I will bring such distress on humans that they will walk like they are blind,because they have sinned against the Lord.”Their blood will be poured out like dustand their intestines like manure.
18. Their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue themon the day of the Lord’s overflowing fury.The whole earth will be consumed by his fiery anger,because he will put an end, a frightening end,to those who live on earth.
