Amplified Bible
Zephaniah 1:14-18
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.
18Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to rescue them On the day of the Lord’s indignation and wrath. And the whole earth will be consumed In the fire of His jealous wrath, For He shall make a full and complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.
