Day of the LORD

For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:

Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.

For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

For the day is near, even Yahweh’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand:

Yahweh thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.

“Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.

Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?

For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.

Be silent at the presence of the Lord Yahweh, for the day of Yahweh is at hand. For Yahweh has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.

It will happen in the day of Yahweh’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, the king’s sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing.

The great day of Yahweh is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of Yahweh. The mighty man cries there bitterly.

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

Behold, a day of Yahweh comes, when your plunder will be divided within you.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
