Zephaniah 1:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord is near,
    near and hastening quickly.
The sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the mighty man shall cry out there.
¹⁵ That day is a day of wrath,
    a day of trouble and distress,
        a day of ruin and desolation,
    a day of darkness and gloom,
        a day of clouds and blackness,
¹⁶     a day of trumpet and alarms
against the fortified cities
    and against the high towers.
