Zephaniah 1:14-17

14The great [judgment] day of the Lord is near, Near and coming very quickly. Listen! The [voice of the] day of the Lord! The warrior cries out bitterly [unable to fight or to flee].

15That day is a day of [the outpouring of the] wrath [of God], A day of trouble and distress, A day of destruction and devastation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness,

16A day of trumpet and the battle cry [of invaders] Against the fortified cities And against the high corner towers (battlements).

17I will bring distress on men So that they will walk like the blind [unable to find a way of escape], Because they have sinned against the Lord; Their blood will be poured out like dust [and trampled underfoot], And their flesh like dung.
