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.
