14. The great day of the Lord is near –near and coming quickly.The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15. 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 –
16. a day of trumpet and battle cryagainst the fortified citiesand against the corner towers.
17. ‘I will bring such distress on all peoplethat they will grope about like those who are blind,because they have sinned against the Lord.Their blood will be poured out like dustand their entrails like dung.
