2 ^(A)Blow a trumpet in Zion,
And make a loud shout on My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
For the ^(B)day of Yahweh is coming;
Surely it is near,

¹¹ But Yahweh ^(A)gives forth His voice before ^(B)His military force;
Surely His camp is very numerous,
For ^(C)mighty is he who does His word.
The ^(D)day of Yahweh is indeed great and very awesome,
And ^(E)who can endure it?

¹⁸ Woe, you who are longing for the ^(A)day of Yahweh,
For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you?
It will be ^(B)darkness and not light;

²⁰ Will not the day of Yahweh be ^(A)darkness instead of light,
Even thick darkness with no brightness in it?
