Let all who live in the land tremble,
    for the day of the Lord^(D) is coming.
It is close at hand^(E)—

¹⁵ Blow the trumpet^(A) in Zion,^(B)
    declare a holy fast,^(C)
    call a sacred assembly.^(D)

¹⁵ Alas for that^(A) day!
    For the day of the Lord^(B) is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty.^[a](C)

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord^(A) is near^(B)—
    near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.

²² Should you not fear^(A) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble^(B) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,^(C)
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar,^(D) but they cannot cross it.
