Zephaniah 1:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ I’m warning you, this day of judgment is right around the corner.
    The great and terrible day of the Eternal One is coming on you very quickly.
Listen, here it comes, the day of the Eternal One, and it will be very bitter!
    Even your strongest and bravest will break down and cry out.^[a]

¹⁵ On that day, you will see what happens when God is furious.
    You will be overwhelmed with all the trouble and pain—total destruction.
You will watch the sky fill with the thick clouds and gloomy darkness.
¹⁶ You will hear the trumpet blast and battle cry
    as He moves against the city that day.
You were so sure it was fortified against attack with its thick walls and high towers,
    yet they will surely fall.
