Zephaniah 1:16

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹⁵ A day of wrath is that day, A day of adversity and distress, A day of waste and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of cloud and thick darkness. ¹⁶ A day of trumpet and shouting against the fenced cities, And against the high corners. ¹⁷ And I have sent distress to men, And they have walked as the blind, For against Jehovah they have sinned, And poured out is their blood as dust, And their flesh is as dung.
