⁹ Behold, ^(A)the day of the Lord is coming,
Cruel, with fury and burning anger,
To make the land a desolation;
And He will exterminate its sinners from it.

⁷ ‘Alas! for that ^(A)day is great,
There is ^(B)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s ^(C)distress,
But he will be ^(D)saved from it.

“There is ^(A)wailing in all the plazas,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They also call the ^(B)farmer to mourning
And ^[a](C)professional mourners to lamentation.
