¹⁰ “On that day,” declares the Lord,
    “a cry will be heard from ^(U)the Fish Gate,
^(V)a wail from ^(W)the Second Quarter,
    a loud crash from the hills.
^11 (X)Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar!
    For all the traders^[d] are no more;
    all who weigh out silver are cut off.
¹² At that time ^(Y)I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
    and I will punish the men
^(Z)who are complacent,^{[e]
    (AA)}those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
    nor will he do ill.’
¹³ Their goods shall be ^(AB)plundered,
    and their houses laid waste.
^(AC)Though they build houses,
    they shall not inhabit them;
^(AD)though they plant vineyards,
    they shall not drink wine from them.”

^14 (AE)The great day of the Lord is near,
    near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
    ^(AF)the mighty man cries aloud there.
^15 (AG)A day of wrath is that day,
    a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ^(AH)ruin and devastation,
    ^(AI)a day of darkness and gloom,
^(AJ)a day of clouds and thick darkness,
^{16     (AK)}a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
^(AL)against the fortified cities
    and against the lofty battlements.

^17 (AM)I will bring distress on mankind,
    so that they shall walk ^(AN)like the blind,
    because they have sinned against the Lord;
^(AO)their blood shall be poured out like dust,
    and their flesh ^(AP)like dung.
^18 (AQ)Neither their silver nor their gold
    shall be able to deliver them
    on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
^(AR)In the fire of his jealousy,
    ^(AS)all the earth shall be consumed;
^(AT)for a full and sudden end
    he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
