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^(A) and gloom,
        a day of clouds and blackness^(B)—
¹⁶     a day of trumpet and battle cry^(C)
against the fortified cities
    and against the corner towers.^(D)

¹⁷ “I will bring such distress^(E) on all people
    that they will grope about like those who are blind,^(F)
    because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out^(G) like dust
    and their entrails like dung.^(H)
