14 The great day of the Lord(A) is near(B)
    near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
    a day of distress and anguish,
        a day of trouble and ruin,
    a day of darkness(C) and gloom,
        a day of clouds and blackness(D)
16     a day of trumpet and battle cry(E)
against the fortified cities
    and against the corner towers.(F)

17 “I will bring such distress(G) on all people

Their blood will be poured out(I) like dust
    and their entrails like dung.(J)
