For, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations, - Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine own head.

For the stars of the heavens and their constellations, shall not flash forth their light, - Obscured shall be the sun in his going forth, And the moon, shall not shed her light. And I will visit, upon the inhabited earth, calamity!, And upon the lawless, their punishment, And will quiet the arrogance of the proud, And the loftiness of tyrants, will I lay low.

For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, - and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings, - and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall; And ye shall tread down the lawless, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, - in the day when I am working with effect, saith Yahweh of hosts.

And, into whatsoever city or village ye enter, search out who in it is, worthy, and, there, abide, till ye go forth. And, as ye enter the house, salute it; And, if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it, but, if it be not worthy, let your peace, unto you, return. And, whosoever shall neither welcome you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth outside that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet: Verily, I say unto you, - More tolerable, will it be, for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for, that, city!

Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, - Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour. The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, - And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day. For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, shall be - Upon every one who is high and lofty, - And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low; And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, - And upon all the oaks of Bashan; And upon all the lofty mountains, - And upon all the uplifted hills; And upon every high tower, - And upon every fortress wall; And upon all the ships of Tarshish, - And upon all desirable banners.
