¹⁴ Near is the ^(A)great ^(B)day of Yahweh,
Near and coming very quickly;
O the sound, the day of Yahweh!
^[a]In it the mighty man ^(C)cries out bitterly.
¹⁵ A day of fury is that day,
A day of ^(D)trouble and distress,
A day of destruction and desolation,
A day of ^(E)darkness and thick darkness,
A day of clouds and dense gloom,
¹⁶ A day of ^(F)trumpet and loud shouting
Against the ^(G)fortified cities
And the high corner towers.
¹⁷ I will bring ^(H)distress on men
So that they will walk ^(I)like the blind
Because they have sinned against Yahweh;
And their ^(J)blood will be poured out like dust
And their ^(K)flesh like dung.
¹⁸ Neither their ^(L)silver nor their gold
Will be able to deliver them
On the day of the fury of Yahweh;
And ^(M)all the earth will be devoured
In the fire of His jealousy,
For He will ^(N)make a complete destruction,
Indeed a terrifying one,
Of all the inhabitants of the earth.
