14 “The Lord’s day of judging is coming soon;it is near and coming fast.The cry will be very sad on the day of the Lord;even soldiers will cry.
15 That day will be a day of anger,a day of terror and trouble,a day of destruction and ruin,a day of darkness and gloom,a day of clouds and blackness,
16 a day of alarms and battle cries.‘Attack the strong, walled cities!Attack the corner towers!’
17 I will make life hard on the people;they will walk around like the blind,because they have sinned against the Lord.Their blood will be poured out like dust,and their insides will be dumped like trash.
18 On the day that God will show his anger,neither their silver nor gold will save them.The Lord’s anger will be like a firethat will burn up the whole world;suddenly he will bring an end, yes, an endto everyone on earth.”
