Zephaniah 1:15-18

New International Version

¹⁵That day will be a day of wrath—
    a day of distress and anguish,
        a day of trouble and ruin,
    a day of darkness^(A) and gloom,
        a day of clouds and blackness^(B)—
¹⁶    a day of trumpet and battle cry^(C)
against the fortified cities
    and against the corner towers.^(D)

¹⁷“I will bring such distress^(E) on all people
    that they will grope about like those who are blind,^(F)
    because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out^(G) like dust
    and their entrails like dung.^(H)
¹⁸Neither their silver nor their gold
    will be able to save them
    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”^(I)

In the fire of his jealousy^(J)
the whole earth will be consumed,^(K)
for he will make a sudden end
of all who live on the earth.^(L)

Jeremiah 30:5-7

New International Version

⁵“This is what the Lord says:

“‘Cries of fear^(A) are heard—
    terror, not peace.
⁶Ask and see:
    Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
    with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,^(B)
    every face turned deathly pale?^(C)
⁷How awful that day^(D) will be!
    No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble^(E) for Jacob,
    but he will be saved^(F) out of it.
