"The great day of The Lord is near--
near and coming quickly.
Listen! The cry on the day of The Lord will be bitter,
the shouting of the warrior there.
That day will be a day of wrath,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness,
a day of trumpet and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and against the corner towers.
I will bring distress on the people
and they will walk like blind men,
because they have sinned against The Lord.
Their blood will be poured out like dust
and their entrails like filth.
Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of The Lord's wrath.
In the fire of His jealousy
the whole world will be consumed,
for He will make a sudden end
of all who live in the earth."
Gather together, gather together,
O shameful nation,
before the appointed time arrives
and that day sweeps on like chaff,
before the fierce anger of The Lord comes upon you,
before the day of The Lord's wrath comes upon you.
Seek The Lord, all you humble of the land,
you who do what He commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be sheltered
on the day of The Lord's anger.
