New King James Version
4 The (A)noise of a multitude in the mountains,
Like that of many people!
A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!
The Lord of hosts musters
The army for battle.
5 They come from a far country,
From the end of heaven—
The (B)Lord and His [a]weapons of indignation,
To destroy the whole (C)land.
6 Wail, (D)for the day of the Lord is at hand!
(E)It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore all hands will be limp,
Every man’s heart will melt,
8 And they will be afraid.
(F)Pangs[b] and sorrows will take hold of them;
They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth;
They will be amazed at one another;
Their faces will be like flames.
9 Behold, (G)the day of the Lord comes,
Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy (H)its sinners from it.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not give their light;
The sun will be (I)darkened in its going forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
11 “I will (J)punish the world for its evil,
And the wicked for their iniquity;
(K)I will halt the arrogance of the proud,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the [c]terrible.
12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold,
A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 (L)Therefore I will shake the heavens,
And the earth will move out of her place,
In the wrath of the Lord of hosts
And in (M)the day of His fierce anger.
14 It shall be as the hunted gazelle,
And as a sheep that no man [d]takes up;
(N)Every man will turn to his own people,
And everyone will flee to his own land.
15 Everyone who is found will be thrust through,
And everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
16 Their children also will be (O)dashed to pieces before their eyes;
Their houses will be plundered
And their wives (P)ravished.
17 “Behold,(Q) I will stir up the Medes against them,
Who will not [e]regard silver;
And as for gold, they will not delight in it.

4 Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!(A)
Listen, an uproar(B) among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty(C) is mustering(D)
an army for war.
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens(E)—
the Lord and the weapons(F) of his wrath(G)—
to destroy(H) the whole country.
6 Wail,(I) for the day(J) of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction(K) from the Almighty.[a](L)
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,(M)
every heart will melt with fear.(N)
8 Terror(O) will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip(P) them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.(Q)
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.(R)
9 See, the day(S) of the Lord is coming
—a cruel(T) day, with wrath(U) and fierce anger(V)—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.(W)
The rising sun(X) will be darkened(Y)
and the moon will not give its light.(Z)
11 I will punish(AA) the world for its evil,
the wicked(AB) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty(AC)
and will humble(AD) the pride of the ruthless.(AE)
12 I will make people(AF) scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir.(AG)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;(AH)
and the earth will shake(AI) from its place
at the wrath(AJ) of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.(AK)
14 Like a hunted(AL) gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,(AM)
they will all return to their own people,
they will flee(AN) to their native land.(AO)
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall(AP) by the sword.(AQ)
16 Their infants(AR) will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
