The sound (A)of a tumult is on the mountains
    as of a great multitude!
The sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
    of nations gathering together!
(B)The Lord of hosts is mustering
    a host for battle.
(C)They come from a distant land,
    from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the weapons of his indignation,
    to destroy the whole land.[a]

(D)Wail, for (E)the day of the Lord is near;
    as destruction from the Almighty[b] it will come!
