Zephaniah 1:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ “The Lord’s day of judging is coming soon.
    That great day is near and coming fast.
The cry will be very sad on that day.
    Even soldiers will cry.
¹⁵ That day will be a day of anger.
    It will be a day of terror and trouble.
It will be a day of destruction and ruin.
    It will be a day of darkness and gloom.
    It will be a day of clouds and blackness.
¹⁶ It will be a day of alarms and battle cries.
    ‘Attack the strong, walled cities!
    Attack the corner towers!’
