16. a day of trumpet and alarmsagainst the fortified citiesand against the high towers.
17. I will bring distress on men,so that they will walk like blind men.Because they have sinned against the Lord,their blood will be poured out like dust,and their flesh like dung.
18. Neither their silver nor their goldwill be able to deliver themon the day of the Lord’s wrath. But the whole earth will be consumedby the fire of His jealousy,for He will make a sudden endof all those who dwell on the earth.
