Zephaniah 1:16

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹⁵ That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, ¹⁶ a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities and against the high battlements. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men; for they have sinned against Jehovah; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung:
