14 The (A)great (B)day of the Lord is near,
Near and coming very quickly;
Listen, the day of the Lord!
[a]In it the warrior (C)cries out bitterly.
15 That day is a day of anger,
A day of (D)trouble and distress,
A day of destruction and desolation,
A day of (E)darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of (F)trumpet and battle cry
Against the (G)fortified cities
And the high corner towers.
17 I will bring (H)distress on mankind
So that they will walk (I)like those who are blind,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
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 save them
On the day of the Lords anger;
And (M)all the earth will be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will (N)make a complete end,
Indeed a horrifying one,
Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

  1. Zephaniah 1:14 Lit There

14 The great day of the Lord is near;
        it is near and coming very quickly.
The sound of the day of the Lord is bitter.
        A warrior screams there.
15 That day is a day of fury,
        a day of distress and anxiety,
        a day of desolation and devastation,
        a day of darkness and gloominess,
        a day of clouds and deep darkness,
16         a day for blowing the trumpet and alarm against their invincible cities
            and against their high towers.
17 I will make humanity suffer;
            they will walk like the blind
            because they sinned against the Lord.
        Their blood will be poured out like dust
        and their intestines like manure.
18 Moreover, their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them
        on the day of the Lord’s fury.
His jealousy will devour the entire land with fire;
        he will make an end,
            a truly horrible one,
        for all the inhabitants of the land.
