That terrible day of the Lord is near
Swiftly it comes
A day of bitter tears
A day when even strong men will cry out
It will be a day when the Lord's anger is poured out
A day of terrible distress and anguish
A day of ruin and desolation
A day of darkness and gloom
A day of clouds and blackness
A day of trumpet calls and battle cries
Down go the walled cities and the strongest battlements
Because you have sinned against the Lord
I will make you grope around like the blind
Your blood will be poured into the dust
And your bodies will lie rotting on the ground
Your silver and gold will not save you on that day of the Lord's anger
For the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy
He will make a terrifying end of all the people on earth
