Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.

The Day of the Lord

Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,

Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate for war; stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
