Zephaniah 1:14-18
World English Bible
14 The great day of Yahweh is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of Yahweh. The mighty man cries there bitterly. 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, 16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements. 17 I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yahweh, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

Zephaniah 1:14-18
New American Standard Bible
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 Lord’s 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.
