⁶ Wail, ^(A)for the day of the Lord is at hand!
^(B)It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

^(A)‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
³ Now the end has come upon you,
And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you ^(B)according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
^4 (C)My eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
^(D)Then you shall know that I am the Lord!’

‘A disaster, a singular ^(E)disaster;
Behold, it has come!
⁶ An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;
Behold, it has come!
^7 (F)Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
^(G)The time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
⁸ Now upon you I will soon ^(H)pour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.

⁹ ‘My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will ^[a]repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.

¹⁰ ‘Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
^(I)Doom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.
^11 (J)Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of ^[b]them;
^(K)Nor shall there be wailing for them.
¹² The time has come,
The day draws near.

‘Let not the buyer ^(L)rejoice,
Nor the seller ^(M)mourn,
For wrath is on their whole multitude.
