Judah's Impending Judgment

15 For that day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and heaviness, a day of utter destruction and misery, a dark and gloomy day, a cloudy and stormy day, 16 a day of the noise of trumpets and shawmes, against the strong cities and high towers. 17 I will bring the people to such vexation, that they shall go about like blind men; because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood shall be shed as the dust, and their bodies as the mire.
