Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

For a day of dark and deep shade is near, a day of cloud and black night: like a black cloud a great and strong people is covering the mountains; there has never been any like them and will not be after them again, from generation to generation.

Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.

Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
