'Day' in the Bible

“Is it nothing to all you who pass this way?Look and see if there is any pain like my painWhich was severely dealt out to me,Which the Lord inflicted on the day of His fierce anger.

“From on high He sent fire into my bones,And it prevailed over them.He has spread a net for my feet;He has turned me back;He has made me desolate,Faint all day long.

“They have heard that I groan;There is no one to comfort me;All my enemies have heard of my calamity;They are glad that You have done it.Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed,That they may become like me.

How the Lord has covered the daughter of ZionWith a cloud in His anger!He has cast from heaven to earthThe glory of Israel,And has not remembered His footstoolIn the day of His anger.

The Lord has rejected His altar,He has abandoned His sanctuary;He has delivered into the hand of the enemyThe walls of her palaces.They have made a noise in the house of the LordAs in the day of an appointed feast.

All your enemiesHave opened their mouths wide against you;They hiss and gnash their teeth.They say, “We have swallowed her up!Surely this is the day for which we waited;We have reached it, we have seen it.”

Their heart cried out to the Lord,“O wall of the daughter of Zion,Let your tears run down like a river day and night;Give yourself no relief,Let your eyes have no rest.

On the ground in the streetsLie young and old;My virgins and my young menHave fallen by the sword.You have slain them in the day of Your anger,You have slaughtered, not sparing.

You called as in the day of an appointed feastMy terrors on every side;And there was no one who escaped or survivedIn the day of the Lord’s anger.Those whom I bore and reared,My enemy annihilated them.

Surely against me He has turned His handRepeatedly all the day.

I have become a laughingstock to all my people,Their mocking song all the day.

The lips of my assailants and their whisperingAre against me all day long.
