'Day of the Lord' in the Bible

Be silent before the Lord God!For the day of the Lord is near,For the Lord has prepared a sacrifice,He has consecrated His guests.

“Then it will come about on the day of the Lord’s sacrificeThat I will punish the princes, the king’s sonsAnd all who clothe themselves with foreign garments.

Near is the great day of the Lord,Near and coming very quickly;Listen, the day of the Lord!In it the warrior cries out bitterly.

Neither their silver nor their goldWill be able to deliver themOn the day of the Lord’s wrath;And all the earth will be devouredIn the fire of His jealousy,For He will make a complete end,Indeed a terrifying one,Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Before the decree takes effect—The day passes like the chaff—Before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you,Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.

Seek the Lord,All you humble of the earthWho have carried out His ordinances;Seek righteousness, seek humility.Perhaps you will be hiddenIn the day of the Lord’s anger.
