15 It will be a time of anger—of trouble and torment,of disaster and destruction,of darkness and despair,of storm clouds and shadows,
16 of trumpet callsand battle criesagainst fortified citiesand mighty fortresses.
17 The Lord warns everyonewho has sinned against him,“I'll strike you blind!Then your blood and your insideswill gush out like vomit.
18 Not even your silver or goldcan save you on that daywhen I, the Lord, am angry.My anger will flare uplike a furious firescorching the earthand everyone on it.”
