Neither their silver nor their gold
Will be able to rescue them
On the day of the Lord’s indignation and wrath.

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.

Before the day of the wrath of the Lord comes upon you.
