So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”

“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly.”

Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

Gaps

“Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

How shall I admonish you?
To what shall I compare you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
To what shall I liken you as I comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is as vast as the sea;
Who can heal you?

To stand

“Or do you have an arm like God,
And can you thunder with a voice like His?

You, even You, are to be feared;
And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

“I have no wrath.
Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely.

The day

“For the day is near,
Even the day of the Lord is near;
It will be a day of clouds,
A time of doom for the nations.

Against everyone who is proud and lofty
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be abased.

A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

For the day of the Lord is near,
And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
For the day of the Lord is coming;
Surely it is near,

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!

For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be darkness and not light;

Near is the great day of the Lord,
Near and coming very quickly;
Listen, the day of the Lord!

Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.
