⁶ Wail,^(A) for the day^(B) of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction^(C) from the Almighty.^[a](D)

¹⁴ They are now dead,^(A) they live no more;
    their spirits^(B) do not rise.
You punished them and brought them to ruin;^(C)
    you wiped out all memory of them.^(D)

²¹ See, the Lord is coming^(A) out of his dwelling^(B)
    to punish^(C) the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood^(D) shed on it;
    the earth will conceal its slain no longer.

⁶     the Lord Almighty will come^(A)
with thunder^(B) and earthquake^(C) and great noise,
    with windstorm and tempest^(D) and flames of a devouring fire.^(E)

⁹ Should I not punish them for this?”
    declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge^(A) myself
    on such a nation as this?”

⁷ The days of punishment^(A) are coming,
    the days of reckoning^(B) are at hand.
    Let Israel know this.
Because your sins^(C) are so many
    and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,^(D)
    the inspired person a maniac.^(E)
