Near is the great day of the LORD,
near and very swiftly coming.
The sound of the day of the LORD! Piercing—
there a warrior shrieks!
A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloom,
a day of thick black clouds,
A day of trumpet blasts and battle cries
against fortified cities,
against lofty battlements. ...
Zephaniah 1:14–18
